Yucca filamentosa/flaccida complex BMJ #500 x Yucca glauca
#500 Yucca sp. Hybrid |
|
Yucca glauca (pollen from a plant in Gurli & Christian Lorentsen's garden) |
This cross where made in 2004. I
did get three seed pods which were given the following number:
BMJ #2006
BMJ #2007
BMJ #2008
I have not noticed any difference in the plants from the different
pods, the growth are very much alike, only one have bloomed so far.
The seeds from this cross were sown in 2007, and the first specimen bloomed in 2011.
Short description one of the plants of this cross the clone #2007A:
Plant: Acaulescent and spreading by short stolons (rhizomes).
After the frist flower in 2011, the rosette died, and new rosettes were
formed around it from the base of the stem. Another rosette bloomed in
2014.
Leaves: stiff, erect and spreading, 57 - 65 cm long., up to
25 mm wide, glaucous, with few strait rather thick fibers at the margin
of the leaves, which is up to 12 - 16 cm in length.
Inflorescence: glabrous, 120 cm high, mostly racemose but with
a few short branches held in an upright position 8-25 cm long.
Scape: about 70 cm starting from between the leaves.
Flowers: pendulous (bell shaped), cream white with a brown-slightly
purple hue, 6 to 7 cm long.
Outer tepals cream white with a brown-slightly
purple hue in color 25 mm wide and 60 mm long. Inner tepals greenish
white 42 mm wide and 65 mm long. Ovarium greenish white 30 mm long
and 10 mm in circumfence. Stigma lobe green, 10 mm long.
Taste
of the flowers somewhat bitter. Scent not very strong strong
Fruit: 55-66 mm long, 31-37 mm thick, which much smaller
than those of a typical Yucca glauca. Seeds mm
in size.
The hybrid is not yet propageted, but will be so in the future, probably in tissue culture.

(filamentosa/flaccida complex hybrid #500
x glauca (BMJ 2007A). Made by Benny M. Jensen in 2011. BMJ# 2011-024,
2011-025.
This hybrid is also selffertile:
Yucca (hybrid #500 x glauca (2007A)) X (hybrid #500 x
glauca
(2007A)). Made by Benny M. Jensen, Denmark, in 2011, BMJ 2011-036.
It is also a possible parent for this hybrid:
Yucca ("Karlsruhensis type 2" x elata (BMJ#2001A)) X
? with two labels (glauca x ffilamentosa/flaccida-complexhybrid
#1402
[big "blue" form of
Y. filamentosa
?](1844E)) or ( filamentosa/flaccida-complexhybrid
#500
x glauca (2007A)), it's the first time I have made such a mistake.
