This hybrid is a grex I created by transferring pollen from a plant collected as seeds in Trinitad, 1850m, Colorado where the motherplant resembled a Y. neomexicana. However, the plant that germinated are more closely to Y. glauca but may be a hybrid ( Y. neomexicana x glauca). The pollen was transferred to a motherplant of Y. flaccida from Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia. Rather narrow leaves with lots of filaments.
The resulting seeds have germinated in good numbers and should prove some really nice hybrids with fast growth and good potential hardiness towards both cold and wet winters provided good drainage.
Instead of the name (Y. flaccid x (Y. neomexicana x glauca)) I have decided to call the resulting seedlings for Yucca ‘Cinnamon Girl’ grex, with the word grex stolen from the orchid world in order to describe all seedlings from this cross.
I´m interested in how this grex would be able to grow under different climatic conditions. Therefore I need some participants to grow them in different places/gardens. You will receive two plants and each plant will have a unique number that should be kept for record.
So the plants you could receive would for an example be called Yucca ‘Cinnamon Girl’ grex no. 23 and 24. Again: These numbers should be kept on the plant for future record also if you give away cuttings later on.
What I want in return is a yearly feedback with pictures on how the plants are doing (or not doing, failure is part of the game). I will keep a record on whom I send them to, but that would be betwin me and them. However, I need the permission to publish any picture you return to me. You can have your name credited, but if you don’t want it, I will just write ‘garden in Vancouver, Canada’ or garden in ‘Gdansk, Poland’.
Please reply to me by pm if you are interested...

This is to tell everyone who wanted toparticipate that they should receive their plants at friday latest, maybe later for the us adress.
