Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Nice blog, Aaron.
And he's been to some of your fav places.
I love the desert architecture and rock patterned yards.
And those yuccas!
Strange that the biggest one is in Texas...what a mammoth specimen.
And to see one growing at 6,000 ft is amazing.
Weird to read one photo's caption about the "monsoon season with high humidity".
Also like the designer's idea of passive water collection.
Like you've done at your place. 😀
If I could get yuccas to that size here, I probably wouldn't care if they didn't bloom.
Thanks for the links.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
Thanks Barb.
It is cool that he's been to the Dragoon's. I think of how lucky he is too see everthing and work down there. I think he may have my dream job. 😀
I have yet too see the full force of the monsoon season, but I loved it when I was down there and it just started. I love summer rain. 8)
I hope too see yuccas here that size one day, or even half that size. 😯
I love yucca blooms, but at that size I would be happy without. 😉

Those are some awesome Yuccas. That Y. rostrata in Texas is just amazing!!!!!! I'll have to inform David that my Y. schottii has passed away. "That yucca is known to be hardy to cooler, damper climes, as in USDA Z 6 in southern New England."

Agree....and he'd be a great internet pal in the interim, Aaron.
I love summer rain too; it's rare here but welcome in any quantity.
Still have trouble imagining high humidity in the desert though.
Tim, sad your Y.schottii died, it was supposed to be perfect to your rainy winters.

Tim,
Here is a couple of Faxon yuccas from Twin-Falls, Idaho. And a link of pics from Plantasia Cactus Gardens.

Nice pics! Since I've got a hundred and plus seedlings of the various yuccas it's so nice seeing this stuff in the ground.

I am looking forward to seeing pics when they all get planted. 😀

Me too.
Igor must be wondering where he'll plant all of those.

You re both right 😆
Here is a pic. of the seedlings....
Yucca nana seedlings start forming daughter plants

Aaron super pics of Y. faxon. If there is a yucca that closely resembles a palm tree I would think this would be it. I have a 3 gal. grown from seed that will be planted next spring. I hope it grows up to be as nice as the ones you posted. Igor great pics of your Y. faxon and Y. nana. They will grow up fast looking at the professional planting trays you are using 8) . Tim sorry to hear about the Y. schottii not growing anymore 😡

Those sure are a lot of yucca seedlings 😀
Love your plant tag idea, Igor!

Aaron........that fax in the first photo sure looks hybridish to me.....what are your thoughts?
Igor.........that's a lot of seedlings!! Did the 2009 hybrid seeds germinate for you (Y flaccida x reverchonii-thompsoniana)?

Yes, Sir! I have a few of them. By the way all your hybrids have been germinated. I would not say all seeds but 20% of each hybrid. It's awesome!
