A really interesting Yucca Ian. Does it set seed?

Re: Yucca endlichiana flowers again
It didn't last time. I only have one, but some Yuccas are self-fertile so I had hopes. Maybe better luck this time.

Re: Yucca endlichiana flowers again
The flowers seem bigger than last time, and possibly more of them. Not sure it is destined to be a garden classic though, unless maybe a hanging garden. The flowers are almost at ground level and mostly hanging down, which is a shame because they are very nice when you can see them.

Re: Yucca endlichiana flowers again
If you find you can't live with the disappointing display I'll gladly re-home it for you... I find these adorable - somehow like the b@stard child from a liaison between a yucca and a sanseveria.

Super colour. And not "drop-dead" gorgeous like an Agave!

Re: Yucca endlichiana flowers again
I'm trying hand-pollination this time, in case I just don't have the right insects around the greenhouse. Otherwise, I'll keep my fingers crossed for even more offsets, and maybe actually split the plant this time.

Re: Yucca endlichiana flowers again
What size pot is that Ian?
Especially interested in Mesembs. small Aloes and South African miniatures and bulbs.

Re: Yucca endlichiana flowers again
The pot is 7" across the top, and deeper. I think it is a 3l pot, but tricky to check underneath. This might be a miniature Yucca but the roots still go down to Australia.
