Just to finish on a serious note,  here is my Yucca recurvifolia,  showing the latent suckers at the base.

I already got one active sucker from the plant but these ones seem to be ready in waiting for the main stem to flower.

Or they are waiting on that stem to die (if it happens). It will continue growing after blooming. I just saw a plant of recurvifolia in spike yesterday.

You know, this post got me thinking...

I really do seem to migrate toward yucca-like plants a lot--yuccas, nolinas, xanthohrreas, dasylirions, dracaenas, fucraeas, agaves.  I'm not sure why.  They do really well in my environment, but there's something more than that.

It's a strange disease, Ron.  I've been suffering from it for some time - maybe I should think about moving abroad for the sake of my health...

Those underground suckers are often referred to as 'toes', BTW.
