Jim,

I think I have a few more yucca shots for you from the Raulston Arboretum and NC Botanical Gardens, which I will post soon. They had some nice Yucca gloriosas - with very stiff foliage, like my Yucca gloriosa variegatus below.

I think a lot of what people call gloriosas around here might be either recurvifolias or hybrids. The real gloriosa, as seen in the above mentioned NC gardens, were very stiff-leaved.

This monster in front of my house, for example, is a Yucca recurvifolia despite the non-curving foliage. It formerly did have typical curving foliage of a recurvifolia but as it got larger with a denser head the leaves are straigher - but they are nowhere near as stiff or lethal as the gloriosa above.

Speaking of yuccas... when do those pesty YUCCA BUGS show up?? I wanna be ready this year!
