Love the colour on both, marceli.
And the filaments on the Y.ele.
Very nice.

Update...

Y. elegantissima (or schellenbaum):

Y. gloriosa and my boot:

Y. arkansana:

Leaves are narrow now. Is it due to dehydration?

Y. baccata:

Probably the worst looking yucca of all. Me thinking rain shelter all year round. Too high precipitation here for this species.

Y. recurvifolia keeps growing new leaves... in February:

Y. neomexicana:

This was an experiment due to very small size of this plant. Should I keep it under rain protection all the time?

Y. nofckinidea 😉

Pretty decent size now. Looking forward to seeing it growing!

Another mystery yucca:

No protection at all.

You haven't had much of a winter, marceli, so it's surprising that one or two aren't doing well.
Didn't think you had a lot of rain either.

Leaves are narrow now. Is it due to dehydration?

Others here will be able to tell for sure, but whenever any leaves of mine (palms or yuccas) fold lengthwise, it's always been lack of water.
So you might be correct.

But the ones that are doing well are so lovely!

They didn't look mint before winter came, so I knew it's gonna happen. I guess I'll try baccata with rain shelter. It really likes to be kept dry. Check our rainfall graph out: http://www.worldweatheronline.com/Plock-weather-averages/PL.aspx

Wow, marceli, you have had a lot of rain.
I'm sure envious of your annual average temperatures... 😯 especially winter.
Had no idea that Plock Poland was that mild.

Looks as though you're correct...a rain shield would be a benefit.

do you have another photo of your Y. neomexicana seedling? The photo you posted almost looks more baccata-ish or could be another baccatae-type Yucca. 😕

I agree.
Looks baccata like to me? 😕

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.

The truth is I live in continental climate, which means I have warm-hot summers and cool, sometimes very cold winters. It can be either -30C or +5C, but colder winter is more possible, unfortunately 😉

I do have photo of bigger Y. neomexicana from the same seed batch:

Very nice, marceli.

Tim will be henceforth known as the Big Mama spreader... 😆

I've got 2 BMs from Tim's seed (at left) to plant this year.

Hi Marceli

the second neomexicana looks much more like a neomexicana......that first seedlings sure had wide, thick looking leaves. Your big mama's look great.

Hi Barb

you big mamas look great too. Get them into the ground in spring......the more sun the better. 8)

They have been around for along time, once you can tell them apart you will find them every where. 😆
