Hallo Thomas,
da hast Du keine Zeit mehr für Urlaubsvorbereitungen..., das muss dann wohl die bessere Hälfte übernehmen.
Dann heisst es Pömpeln was das Zeug hält.
Hybriden mit Y. linearifolia gibt es noch nicht so viele. Kenne eigentlich nur die von Horst, die berühmte `Litho`und `Reli`und die Y. glauca x linearifolia von Benny.
good luck!

Hi Benny

your hybrid of Y. filamentosa x rostrata is my #1 favorite Yucca in my garden. It looks great all 12 months of the year. Most Yuccas don't look good after winter but those are amazing.

I have not looked at the roots since I planted them as small seedlings back in 2010 or so. I do recall the roots being more like rostrata than filamentosa with 'carrot' type roots. There was one offshoot back in 2011 +/- and I have it to Jost, so these hybrids are in Europe. I was hoping one would bloom this season to see if they trunk or form offshoots after blooming. So far no sign of blooms.

nice blooms everybody. Too bad that linearifolia bloom broke off. I hope you can get some pollen off of it!

Hi Tim,
what is it for a tree on the right side in a last picture? A Magnolia grandiflora?
Kind regards.

Frank

Hi Frank

Yes that's a Magnolia grandiflora 'Edith Bogue'.

Hi Thomas

I see some nice pollen!

Hier mal ein Bild meiner Yucca filamentosa 'Hairy'. Sie ist noch gar nicht so groß, deshalb wunderts mich das sie schon blüht. Sie hat aber jetzt schon einen besonders schönen Blütenstand, wie ich finde.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for the kind words, of this creation. Yes, your specimens are indeed great looking. I have a few of the rostrata hybrids planted in the garden, they do not grow as fast as other hybrids, most likely because of our low summer temperatures an the relatively short growing season. This year the growing season is 2 weeks earlier, and late next week we might get up to 25C for the frist time this year :-) The plants inside the greenhouse, grows quite fast when compared to other hybrids.

Have a nice day

Benny

Hello Mirko,

This is my favorite "garden yucca", great looking plants you have in your garden. Hopefully someone will cross it with Yucca nana, and make some hairy super compact garden yuccas :-)

Have a nice day

Benny

Hello Thomas,

Yes, that's a lot of flowers in one scape, wow. You will have to collect lots of pollen store it in the refrigerator and send some spare pollen all around the world. A little spare pollen would be appreciated for my Yucca angustissima ssp. kanabensis X (filamentosa x arkansana), this plant has very long leaves, so more genes with long leaves could be an interesting combination for us, I think.



Have a nice day

Benny
