I feel your pain, Beny. You got a crapload of snow last year too. Move to BC...we need a few more palm-loving folks to help pay taxes. :lol: Fuel 1.33 here today. You'll be wearing shorts and flip-flops in a few weeks. :wink: Barb I seen lots of people wearing shorts and tshirts all last week here ...

Hey it's Spring time so with bringing the plants outside from the garage I now
have a place to spray paint.

I just made a facebook page for my art.

Nice weather for January.

Only 7c here but I'll take it.

Wow! You have lots of snow Barb. They say 10c on Monday.

I was in Vernon today for work and it was like driving into Alberta.

It was a nice drive back to some sunshine.

I think the rostrata's will survive. They have been through it before. They better
survive or i'll probably cry.

Yeah it was only -2c earlier today when I took the picture. Instead of the -12c it was a couple days ago.

Still no snow at my place. At least it's not as cold as the last couple days.

only got a dusting of snow at my place. Jay, did you throw a cover on your y.rostratas? I'm worried about mine with the lows forecast Thursday and Friday http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/vernon/v1t/daily-weather-forecast/52852 Your 4th already Jim? :shock: Barb Nope! I don't cover them. Only maybe ...

At least you have an inch of snow. I only got a dusting of snow at my place.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Mine took about 4 years before i got any kiwis.

That's about as big as mine get.

Welcome to the forum Benny.

looking awesome!

Wow! Congrats Aaron. All the best to you and your new family.

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

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.

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.

I just took a picture of the ones in my front yard.

lucky1 wrote: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

Barb

Mine have all shot up Barb. Probably last week or so.

Wow! Very nice

Wow! Awesome pics.

Wow! Very nice scenery.

Thanks Igor.

Here's another one I did last night.

Thanks Aaron.

Wow! That place still looks awesome.

Hey thanks Barb.

Sweet! Looking good John.

It's been awhile since I posted my spray paint videos and I have probably painted over 50 paintings since this original post. I thought maybe I should post some updated paintings. Here's some of my latest paintings. http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/jaylatour/Spray%20Paint%20Art/3ea4a294-c669...

Cool.

We have lots of Gartner and a few Rattle Snakes around our area.

Seems plants do better if they don't need my care.

They look great for only two years. My kind of plants.

Wow! Those look awesome.

Thanks Tim. I can't even remember what the seeds were labeled as. I thought they were just rostratas. Jay is that seed I may have sent you? Looks like some of the crazy rostrata seed I have. Eveything from that batch is not the norm. PS I can't tell the rostrata from the thompsoniana seed I ordered...

TimMAz6 wrote:Hi Jay,

that 'rostrata' Yucca sure seems to have 'U' shaped leaves (cross section of leaf)........not a pure rostrata trait. Perhaps it is the Y. rostrata-rigida form since rigida has 'U' shaped leaves. How cold do you get?

Yeah very well could be. I think we had a low of around -20c/-4f

hardyjim wrote:Barb sure can be nasty

great collection of Yucca!

Thanks Jim. And yes Barb can be nasty.

i'm kidding.

nice collection Jay! :shock: What's this Yucca? Reminds me of a Y. filamentosa x schottii. If you want any hybrid Yucca seed let me know and I'll mail you some. Thanks Tim. I can't even remember what the seeds were labeled as. I thought they were just rostratas. Thanks for the offer on the seeds. i...

I might have some palm seedlings for you if you're up to driving 40 miles north.

So there...no excuse.

Barb

Thanks Barb, I do have about 5 or 6 palms but i'm just too lazy to plant them.

Thanks Aaron.

Cry me a river. :laughing2: No wonder you've been holding out with updates. Great specimens. They are soooo nice, Jay. I can lend you my shop vac to get the leaves out of the rostrata. :booty: :lol: You need some palms. Barb lol, Yeah those pesky leaves. And thanks... I do need some palms. I'll wor...

Thanks Guys, I don't protect them Igor. I have only placed a Styrofoam cover with some breathing holes
over the rostratas and baccatas for the first winter when they were small.
