Horst, Jost looks good, say hi! Your Yucca is a beauty, I like the big gap between the leaved and bloom.

Yucca constricta x filamentosa

Hi Tim,

The panicled inflorescence begins very far beyond the rosettes in this hybrid. Very interesting.

Yucca cernua, the bloom branches are not 'nodding' this year? Interesting. Maybe they will 'nod' in a few more days.

Yucca cernua is 'nodding' now.

Hi Tim,

nice flowers. And really huge flower stalks. My Y. cernua was close to death, don't know why. But now it looks like it comes back to live very slowly. Any seed pods in sight on Y. cernua?

Eckhard

Yes, many pods are forming. Here's some Y cernua X 'fila x rostrata, Benny Jensen form#1' with the white ties. I find it interesting the pods are currently erect.............they 'should' be pendant, perhaps this will change?

Yucca gloriosa 'Tennessee form east side of house' is sending up a bloom. This Yucca has bloomed in spring and fall. This is the earliest fall bloom, so perhaps I'll get some seed???

Hi Tim,

maybe you are lucky and seeds will become ripe before winter time. Do you have other pollen to create hybrids or will you try to pollinate with its on pollen? We need some more hybrids with Y. gloriosa

Regards
Eckhard

I hope I have pollen from fila x rostrata and cernua in the refrigerator. I will 'self' it too.

Hi Tim,

that sounds amazing and hopefully winter will arrive that late, that all the seeds will be ready before. The combinations could lead to some nice new combinations.

Regards
Eckhard

Hallo Thomas,

ich hatte 2012 eine Y. gloriosa von Dir erworben. Gestern habe ich eine Blüte entdeckt. Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass sie es bis zum Herbst schafft. Bei uns war ja auch ein Traumsommer, gestern zum Abend hat es endlich mal geregnet.
