Oh my, i must confess I have a love affair going on with Yuccas as of late. This looks like an old one! CactusJordi always posts the best plants in their natural settings. Since I cannot go myself I so appreciate them! I love looking at them!

Hi Kell, thanks for your nice words. Actually I am not so fond of Yuccas except the real geophyte [i]Yucca endlichiana[/i], which one can grow in a small place for decades. Jordi

I had to look Yucca endlichiana up. Do the flower spikes ever stand up above the plant with older plants? I do admit that the huge flower spikes whether they hang down or stand tall is a real plus for me. So elegant, so stunning.

Well then, Y. endlichiana will never be a favorite of mine but i can sure appreciate it still! Thanks
