"Greenish" yucca filamentosa?

Post by lucky1 » Sun Jul 15, 2012 3:39 pm

The one at far left is almost fully open, but look at the greenish hue compared to the others.

Strange? or not?

Screw the Yuccas!...............nice view!

PS, we tend to have more of the cream colored blooming Yuccas here and less white colored. The cream colored ones are filamentosa/concava types where the white ones are flaccida type. Try to hybridize them so we can see the shape of the seed pods.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, Igor's correct, they are somewhat smaller than the ivory ones.

Some other time for hybridizing...too bloomin' hot to get out there poking around.
I'm not good at the stuff that takes "delicate patience"... :wink:

Give pollenation a try......it will be easy if you don't have those beetles!
