Here's some of my yuccas and cacti this Spring.
Some of the cacti are still sleeping. Hopefully they will wake up soon. 🙂

Nice Jay. Mine are almost all still 'sleeping', but we have delayed spring here due to proximity to the GLs... Pedios have not even bloomed here yet!
What form of basilaris is that? I can get every form through my winters EXCEPT O. basilaris var. basilaris... I just can't find one that stands up to the combination of cold/wet.

Nice Jay, looks like your plants did much better than mine this year. Amazed how tall your Y. recurvifolia is. 8)
Shoshone Idaho weather

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.

Thanks Paul, I think it's O. basilaris var. basilaris.
Aaron would know. He gave me the pad about three years ago.

Thanks Aaron, I had one recurve that didn't make it. Hopefully it will grow back from the roots.

Jay, definitely like your cacti bed. And wondering what is a purple variety of the Opuntia and this short and robust Yucca?

nice collection of southwest plants. How cold did you get to kill a recurvifolia? There's only one form which regularly dies to the ground here in Massachusetts (same form?). Rob from Tenn. sent me a small sucker from a Tenn. native Y. gloriosa/recurvifolia which is on steroids. Everyone should have one of these.
Planted it at my new house on June 2, 2004. It's in center of photo, top of berm behind the Sabal louisiana (RIP):

In only 3 years...........talk about steriodal growth rate. It typically blooms in fall (gloriosa trait) but did bloom once in spring (recurvifolia trait):
