Yucca cernua sending up a bloom


Bad news........it appears the Y. gloriosa 'Tennessee form' bloom is broken!!!!!

That's great, hybrids with Y. cernua sounds interesting

Hi Tim,

amazing to see all your blooming Yucca. You can create some really interesting hybrids
Please show updates of the flowers.

How can the bloom breake ?

Hi Justen,

The bloom could not 'break' through the leaves. This same occurance of a breaking bloom stalk occurred on this Yucca gloriosa 'Tennessee form' a few years ago........2 times for this one Yucca. I guess next time it will bloom I will assist the opening of the leaves so the stem does not break. Last time this occurred it was in October so I was not too concerned since freezes which would kill the bloom were only days away.

I did notice that the bloom is still growing even though 80% of the stem is severed.


I noticed today that another Y. flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' is blooming........now I have 3 which will bloom.........they bloom when so young......what a great trait. These two offspring look different from the same seed crop..........these two have green bloom stems.


Here's the other Y. flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana'.......this form is very nice and has a red stem like the pollen donor.


Benny's Y. filamentosa x rostrata is just AMAZING. This Yucca must have pushed up 100 new leaves this season already!!!

Fantastic garden Tim!

Yucca flaccida 'Poconos Mountains, PA' x filata

nice Thomas...........what do the seed pods look like? Are they constricted in the middle? The Yuccas 'native' in Coventry, RI and other localities generally have small diameter bloom stalks with small, constricted seed pods.

Hi Tim,

Very beautifull garden, the filamentosa x rostrata ist 'Wunderbar'!!!

Cheers,
Mark
