Some Spring Yucca And Cacti pics in Kelowna
Here's some of my yuccas and cacti this Spring.
Some of the cacti are still sleeping. Hopefully they will wake up soon.

Nice Jay. Mine are almost all still 'sleeping', but we have delayed spring here due to proximity to the GLs... Pedios have not even bloomed here yet!
What form of basilaris is that? I can get every form through my winters EXCEPT O. basilaris var. basilaris... I just can't find one that stands up to the combination of cold/wet.

Nice Jay, looks like your plants did much better than mine this year. Amazed how tall your Y. recurvifolia is.

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.

Aaron would know. He gave me the pad about three years ago.

Jay, definitely like your cacti bed. And wondering what is a purple variety of the Opuntia and this short and robust Yucca?

nice collection of southwest plants. How cold did you get to kill a recurvifolia? There's only one form which regularly dies to the ground here in Massachusetts (same form?). Rob from Tenn. sent me a small sucker from a Tenn. native Y. gloriosa/recurvifolia which is on steroids. Everyone should have one of these.
Planted it at my new house on June 2, 2004. It's in center of photo, top of berm behind the Sabal louisiana (RIP):

In only 3 years...........talk about steriodal growth rate. It typically blooms in fall (gloriosa trait) but did bloom once in spring (recurvifolia trait):

Hey Tim- Y. recurvfolia gets damaged/top killed here each winter! Of course, that might be expected with a low of -22f...

Mines look terrible too. They are alive definitely but they have need frost burn for sure (even been covered with snow). The minimum was minus 23 (C), the average January's - minus 12 (C).Paul Ont wrote:Hey Tim- Y. recurvfolia gets damaged/top killed here each winter!

it appears that the most common form of Y. recurvifolia (I see it in the Washington DC area and southern N.J too) is the non-hardy form up here. I'm curious if Y. recurvifolia is getting a bad name since the most common form is the non-hardy one??

Wow! That's a nice one. Not sure sure on exact temps at my place. My digital thermometer broke this winter. I have two that survive every winter for the last five years with no protection besides snow cover.TimMAz6 wrote:nice collection of southwest plants. How cold did you get to kill a recurvifolia?

I think the one that got fired is in a bad spot. It gets burnt really bad every year and last year it died but grew back from the roots.
