Noticed this today, it's sending a flower stock.

Yucca gloriosa variegata.

Cheers, Barrie.

what a great looking plant!

You're right Paul, and the damned thing is, it looks way better "in the flesh". It's formed a couple of trunks to about nearly a foot. The photo only shows the flowering portion of which it's the first time doing so. Must've been the great summer we had.

Cheers, Barrie.

Wow! Nice Yucca Barrie!
I know what you mean about plants looking better in the "flesh"
I am wondering,does Gloriosa continue growing after it flowers?

They do, and are quite likely to branch out sending two or more new shoots.

Cheers, Barrie.

Thanks Barrie,that would be very cool to have one that's branched.
I am curious how tall that one is.Also,heres a picture of my little guy that's done quite well this year-

Jim ... It's somewhere in the 3 foot tall range and has produced a number of offsets, some of which I've removed. You can expect similar results in 5 or 6 years. Great start there BTW !

Cheers, Barrie.

Mine tried to flower in the winter and killed the main plant, but more came up from the roots.

Barrie, how tall is your biggest one?

Barrie · Post by **Barrie** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 6:59 pm

Aaron ... somewhere about 3' tall roughly.

Here's an overview of the whole plant (at dusk).

I used a flash on this one to properly show the trunks (about 12")

Cheers, Barrie.

One of the prettiest Yuccas for sure.

Those look awesome Barrie

I hope mine start to pick up speed and grow a trunk.

Barrie · Post by **Barrie** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:32 pm

Oh they will man ... not a ton of care required, just carerful removal of the old dead leaves each year is needed.

Cheers, Barrie.
