Top one is bougainvillea (variety ?), next is Desert Rose (Adenium obesum), and last is Angel Trumpet (brugmansia) Inca Sun. Thanks. You should smell the brug; the aroma at eveningtime is intoxicating!

They grow like crazy here! Actually, probably one of the easiest and largest yuccas here (never any snow damage). I have seen some the size of the 2 story houses they are next to. I had one a long time ago in a planter that NEVER drained water because we used the wrong type of sand (to give you an idea of how much water was in the planter, the birds used to use it as a bird bath! The yucca eventually couldnt handle a life as a bog plant so it did die 3 years later, but for a plant that needs good drainage (and saw the coldest winter of the decade with a low of 1F), it did very well. Im sure they can easily handle temperatures down to at least -5 to -10F. Not sure if it can go below that, but with protection and dry conditions, it should have no problems.

I would say that they are the second most popular yuccas here (right behind Y. recurvifolia and right after y. filamentosa and y. faxoniana). I guess you would need someone in your zone to give you a better idea about how they do in your area, but they handle wet zone 7 winters and reach blooming age with no problems here.

Hope it does well for you!

Thanks Palmtree. While I will get it used to being outside, I will over winter it in the garage along with some Windmill palms that I've bought this year and didn't want to put them in the ground so late in the season.

Have an eye on a different Yucca at a local store here. What do you know about Yucca Filifera? The one here is about 5' tall and $140.00

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

Ive never seen those here. I think they require a lot more dry weather than we can provide (all the yuccas here have to be very moisture tolerant). One website rates Y. Filifera for zones 8a and up, so they would probably be a challange here.
I did see a Yucca thompsoniana once which looks kind of familiar to Filifera but is a bit more cold tolerant. I only saw thompsoniana once here though so I dont know if its actually all that cold tolerant or not.

Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
 

The Filifera I would just have as a container yucca, and keep in garage in winter. I think they are all slow growing enough that I would be long gone before it got to any size that I couldn't handle to move in/out with the seasons. I just know it looks pretty cool.

Now the one I just got and planted I will acclimate to cold temps and plant it outside when it gets bigger..maybe in 3/4 years.
