Pics are a few days old

When you add up all the arms of growth on the C.Peruvianus you get about 6' for this summer.

Just noticed this on the Gloriosa...second time its flowered since being planted as an infant in 2008.

C.Maxima is jamming now...

I marked the Washy,Butia and Princeps after 2 days
the Princeps spear had grown over an inch,the Washy almost 3" and the Butia almost 2....
This really is the time of best growth....unfortunately no rain with temps possibly reaching 100F this week WTH (-:
The Thai giant will be happy!

Hard to tell but the new "smaller" leaf on this
Thai giant is about 3',it will be at least a 4 footer but the next one should be huge,the leaf
to the right in the(next) pic is almost 3.5'x5'.

Thanks for looking

hi
The Yuccas in my neighborhood tend to grow more upright and flower regularly. This has never flowered and has remained globe shaped but does pup frequently.
Was given to me many years ago i gave away the pups recently and told them it was Agave augustifolia variagated form . Yucca gloriosa has a much different growth habit thanks for the info gary

Thanks Alex!

Whatever it is -it is a beautiful Yucca,I like the white edges as opposed to
the more cream color of Gloriosa.

I know what you mean Gary...a few snips off the edges fixes them right up.

Gary, that plant is an agave angustifolia. I have the same plant in my own yard.
