Aaron.... they both look good and looks like three heads forming on the blue Yucca. I am not used to seeing Rostrata flowering so young, probably a climate thing? I have just lost a trunked green Rostrata after flowering a few years ago perhaps the root system was not good and too much moisture in my climate.

I think it could be climate, the sun is very intense here in the warmer months, and this could help the younger plants build sugars faster. Of course I really don't know why, but all my yuccas here have bloomed as small plants. :D

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.
Your winters are harsh. Any other exotic winter green species you've got?
