Some pics from this past weekend.

One of only 20 or so Yucca recurvfolia x filata seedlings in the world! I have 2 that came through the winter in excellent condition.

Yucca elata showing the full effects of the really tough winter, low of -29C (-20f) with prolonged subfreezing cold (if you go to the full screen version and zoom in the plant on the right you can see a little tip burn on one of the leaves!). The nearby variegated Yucca filamentosa had a haircut because it has some BAD looking leaf burn from the cold!

Yucca recurvfolia itself can't take the cold, but it is coming back from the roots:

The palm formerlly known as Trachycarpus takil; now called T. fortunei 'nanital':

Newly planted Gunnera (left) and Petasites japonicus var. giganteus. I'll be interested to see how well they grow this summer:

The Musa basjoo (right) is really taking off with the added heat. It's up over 5' now and looks to be pushing to the sky this summer (I hope anyway!). On the right is a sun burnt Musa velutina which I'm hoping will bloom this summer (I'd say it has a 50/50 chance)!

Yucca neomexicana is one tough little guy! A nearby 4 year old Y. harrimaniae perished this winter, but the neomexicana had only minor tip burn:

I'll grab some shots of the cacti and palms when I get a chance. The bamboos are shooting like crazy, the bend over method really helped to overwinter the top growth and allowed for increased size this spring!
