Hey Bill,
I notice on Ray's humifusa that the stigmas are white/yellow and not green like we were discussing? Any thoughts on that?

Bill, I have renamed the cutting you sent me last year. I now call it O. Snackensenii

Hadn't looked that closely but I can see the yellow contrast.
Hard to say Daiv, it might have a distant relative but I believe Ray's opuntia is humifusa and a nice one.

With the weather you have been getting this spring and summer, I'm more than happy you were able to show up at all.
Looks like a score to me with a perfect blossom!!!!

And my Yucca elata finally thought it was tall enough to open up. Needed a ladder to get a good pic(which I didn't do), the whole thing is at least 15'tall.

Too cool!!! I wish my yucca would bloom, it never has...I pulled it out of a dumpster about 10 years ago, it wasn't dead yet and the people were trashing it.
I've nursed it back to health. Then this spring we cut some "branches" off and made more plants, and stuck the main plant in the ground. I thought it would bloom for sure after all of that.

I thought my Y. elata flower stock was tall at seven feet. But yours beats mine by more than twice the height!!
Unreal man.

I'm with Moonbeam. I have a yucca, and cuttings from it, that date back to the '70s. I'm beginning to think it is just not the "blooming kind"...
