let's start with my biggest yucca, it is yucca filamentosa that's been proven very hardy to my climate, zone 5 (more like zone 4a); this past winter was extremely cold but it survived covered in snow for many months (nights of -16F in average)

as you can see it is flowering as of now with 2 stalks of flowers, I think I could save some pollen for future experiments...

Here are the before and after pics of a small "rock garden" style that I made for my yuccas that I grew from seed

thank you for your time, I'll be posting more pics as summer progresses including my yuccas "elata X filamentosa" hybrids that are just beginning to sprout!
