Tim, how very very nice.
With each photo, I find a fav...and then revise selection with the next photo

The most beautiful blossoms may be the Filata #5...stunning.
And those tall ones...

My yuccas are still slow--only about one-third open.

Thanks for the great photos.

Nice blooms and seed pods

Who pollinated them, you or Yucca moths?

Great bunch of yucca blooms. The one I like the most is filata#5, awsome flower spike!

Some nice yuccas there Tim

Ive been following your progress on one of the German forums. BTW most of those Yucca seeds you've sent have germinated but not all

Happy to report mine are FINALLY opening too

The green-stemmed ones are slower than the reddish ones.
Nothing as spectacular as Tim's though.

Barb,

Good looking yuccas, I love the back drop.

great looking blooms Barb! You can collect the pollen in Town and bring it back to your place to create some great hybrids!

Thanks folks.
A big windstorm last night almost toppled 'em.

collect the pollen in Town

You're not going to believe this...

Went into town...forgot my camera, dammit.
Not a hint of a spike or flower on any of them!!!!!

Wonder if someone cut the spike off?
Idiot.

This is mine, I hope, first successful hand pollination Y. filamentosa/flaccida x Y. filamentosa/flaccida 'Bright Edge'. Not much to expect but is good practice for future hybridization.

Good work, Henoh

Hope you get lots of seeds to germinate this winter.
