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.

baccata is another Yucca which struggles in my climate. I think I need to try it in my native soil instead of my sand/peastone bed. I wonder if they require a high pH soil? We have low pH soils around 4.5 to 5.5. Perhaps pH is an issue with Y. nanas too. What's your pH and soil texture?

Most soils in my country have pH around 5,5-6,5. I don't know what's my soil's pH, but it's mostly sandy, which dries out very quickly, at least on the surface. I'll see how baccata deals with that.

My native soil is sandy loam, sand and clay mix. It is also high in pH like 7 or so and very alkaline. I have seen them growing in the wild in much lower pH scale soils? I think it might be the low daytime temps? You can try one from me and see if it does better? And I will through in some nanas. :D

I'm not sure why but most Yuccas west of central New Mexico perform very poorly in my garden.....Y. elata, Y. elata v verdiensis and Y. schottii are the exception.

Aaron, that is sooooo pretty.
you're way ahead of me on yucca bloom.

Look forward to seeing more.
Y. elata, Y. elata v verdiensis and Y. schottii are the exception.
Hey Tim, somebody PM'd me looking for schottii seeds.
But I cleaned out my PM box and can't remember who it was :?

Aaron.........do you think Y. baccata requires low night temps to thrive? Perhaps that is an issue with the western Yuccas which dislike my climate. Y. harrimaniae and Y. angustissima slowly die in my climate. I'm not sure why?

Barb........I don't have any Y. schottii seed........sorry. Mesa Garden usually carries Yucca seeds.

I don't now? Some place they are found, like the ones by Vegas see summer nights with lows in the 90's. I would guess it might be they need a stronger sun light? Or maybe they are susceptible to root rot? Their is no filtered shade where they are found, so it could lack of extra light. Would you like to try one from my yard? :D

If I new my elata was going to bloom, I would have saved the pollen from the baccata. :x

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 :shock: :?

Sheesh...mine are only just thinking about it.
Last year I think it was mid-June.
Lousy weather until now.
But this week, we're heading into the 40sC (gulp, that's 104F) Ouch.

Tim,
Your yuccas are fantastic! I can't wait until my Y. flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' get as big as yours. I have two, one looks like yours in the pics and the other is lighter green more like reverchonii. :D

Jay,
Your yuccas are getting so big, love the curb appeal. 8)

Aaron..........I have a couple Y. flaccida x 'rever-thomp' hybrids which look more like reverchonnii too. Gotta love hybrids.

It's headed your way, I had 109f on the front porch, yes in the shade, so I would say it was 103f in town? I'm a little cooler the winter and bit warmer in the summer.
I like it now I have ac inside. :D

your red stalked flaccidas
So they aren't filamentosa?
On closer inspection, some have green flower stalks, some red.
You folks are sure observant! :D :D

And Henoh, that's really pretty!

Aaron, holy toledo, you're cookin' now! wow.
Going to park the car in the garage so the tires don't melt. :lol: :lol:
Still cool here this morning, but thunder/lightning in the hills is forecasting the heat's arrival tomorrow. :shock:

Jay, an entire yard of yuccas would look great.

Tim, one tiny blossom has opened, the rest are still closed.
A hummingbird keeps zipping back and forth to the yuccas but my lousy camera can't capture that.
Or should I say the camera operator.

Hi Barb,

Y. flaccida bloom stems will be 'hairy' where Y. filamentosa bloom stems will not have hairs. Here's an example of a hairy bloom stem (Y. cernua)......Y. flaccidas may not be this hairy but it give you an idea what to look for.

great looking Yucca bloom! Try to pollenate it to get seed pods. 8)

Thanks for the great close-up Tim.
Neither my green--nor red--stemmed yuccas are hairy.
Smooth as a baby's bum.

Hi Barb,

sometimes you don't see the hairs unless the sun hits the stem on a certain angle. :D
