Wow, are they ever shooting up/growing with all that rain you've had.

You're weeks ahead of us I think.
None are open here.
Checked on the ones in town this morning, didn't even see any stalks 😯 😕

Hi Barb,

I'm sure we are ahead of you with growth......has your snow melted yet? 😆

Hi Jay,

nice blooming Yuccas........looks like Y. glauca and Y. filamentosa/flaccida? Any other Yuccas blooming?

Sheesh...mine are only just thinking about it.
Last year I think it was mid-June.
Lousy weather until now.
But this week, we're heading into the 40sC (gulp, that's 104F) Ouch.

Tim,
Your yuccas are fantastic! I can't wait until my Y. flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' get as big as yours. I have two, one looks like yours in the pics and the other is lighter green more like reverchonii. 😀

Jay,
Your yuccas are getting so big, love the curb appeal. 8)

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.

Barb...........great views! I like your red stalked flaccidas in bloom.

Aaron..........I have a couple Y. flaccida x 'rever-thomp' hybrids which look more like reverchonnii too. Gotta love hybrids.

It's headed your way, I had 109f on the front porch, yes in the shade, so I would say it was 103f in town? I'm a little cooler the winter and bit warmer in the summer.
I like it now I have ac inside. 😀

Hi Jay,

nice blooming Yuccas........looks like Y. glauca and Y. filamentosa/flaccida? Any other Yuccas blooming?

Thanks Tim. Yes those are gluaca and flaccida i believe. Just those ones for now. Some in the backyard are starting.

Thanks Aaron, In a few years all that lawn will be gone and replaced with yuccas and cacti. 🙂
I'm sure the neighbors will love it. 🙂 And if they don't... Too bad for them. 🙂

Barb, fantastic view!
Tim, nice blooming yuccas.

Here is my Y. filamentosa 'Bright Edge' in full bloom few days ago

your red stalked flaccidas

So they aren't filamentosa?
On closer inspection, some have green flower stalks, some red.
You folks are sure observant! 😀 😀

And Henoh, that's really pretty!

Aaron, holy toledo, you're cookin' now! wow.
Going to park the car in the garage so the tires don't melt. 😆 😆
Still cool here this morning, but thunder/lightning in the hills is forecasting the heat's arrival tomorrow. 😯

Jay, an entire yard of yuccas would look great.

Tim, one tiny blossom has opened, the rest are still closed.
A hummingbird keeps zipping back and forth to the yuccas but my lousy camera can't capture that.
Or should I say the camera operator.

Hi Barb,

Y. flaccida bloom stems will be 'hairy' where Y. filamentosa bloom stems will not have hairs. Here's an example of a hairy bloom stem (Y. cernua)......Y. flaccidas may not be this hairy but it give you an idea what to look for.
