One of my favorite Yuccas will bloom this year :-)

Hello Andy,

At the moment it's the only Yucca in which I have noticed a flowerbud. So I have to hope for donations of pollen from other Yucca growers world wide.

The all time record in our garden is 62 flowerstalks in one summer :-) But this will not be happening this year or any of the nearest years to come, while the heavy snowloads of the last 5 winters has ruined many (read - most) Yucca rosettes in our garden, so the Yucca plants will have to recover themselves from being flattened, before they get big enough to bloom. This specimen is growing on a place in which it only had a maximum of about 50 to 100 cm of snow in those snow rich winters (the far end of our garden had 150 to 250 cm of snow, but I don't think any Yucca had more than maybe 175 cm in 2009-10 and again in January 2014). Most Yuccas has survived this or at least the rhizomes has, but about 95% of my Opuntias were killed by the weight from the snow :-(

Will you have any interesting Yucca in bloom this summer?

Have a nice day

Benny
