Yucca brevifolia (300x180,Z6,P,C,1) ………………………………………………............ 20 seeds / $4.00

 10761.25  (W) Inyo Co., CA, 7000ft, 2134m.  The famous "Joshua Tree," symbol of the Mojave Desert. Stiff and sharp leaves stack tightly to form multi-headed trunks in old specimens. Waxy cream and green flowers appear in favorable years.

 12849.17  (W) Menard Co., TX, 2100ft, 640m.  Large rosettes of narrow leaves and spectacular, multiply-branched inflorescences. One of the predominant Yuccas on the Edwards Plateau.   Photo

Yucca elata (250x80,Z6,P,C,1) .............................................................................................. 60 seeds / $3.00

 25426.27  (W) Lincoln Co., NM, 6400ft, 1951m.  Clumping stems of narrow, sharp-tipped leaves produce spectacular racemes of cream flowers in late spring. Ancient specimens develop several stems atop a definite trunk. Can be grown in sheltered areas at Denver's latitude, so is apparently hardier than its origins would indicate.

Yucca harrimaniae (Var.#4) (60x30,Z5,P,C,1) ……….………………….........…………... 50 seeds / $3.00

 35264.45  (W) Duchesne Co., UT, 6200ft, 1890m.  A robust population of larger rosettes and slightly wider, bluish leaves. Deep cream or pale yellow-cream flower spikes.

 58248.17  (W) San Juan Co., UT, 6600ft, 2012m.  Many botanical differences lead me to believe this is the very recently described taxon Y. nana.  The flowering stalks are taller than in the typical Y. harrimaniae population, the rosettes are, on average, tinier yet, the seed is twice the usual size and the locality seems to match one of the published sites.

Yucca neomexicana (55x20,Z6,P,C,2) ……………………………………….........……..... 30 seeds / $3.50

Zinnia grandiflora (8x20, Z5, P, C, 2) .................................................................................... 40 seeds / $3.00
