Mr. K. Kristensen is a retired nursery gartner (He still grows a lot of Cyclamen coum, see photo further down, please send me a note if you want buy some of his Cyclamen.), and grow a various form of plants in his big rented garden. I got in contact with him through his neighbour and landlord, nursery man that I know, he told me that his neighbour had a long row of Yuccas (44 plants) that looked nothing like anything he ever had seen. So I had to visit him, when I first visited Mr. Kristensen the Yucca was not in bloom yet, but he was so kind to take some pictures of them with his digital video camera.
The plants are grown from seeds that he had collected in a new town area in north-west New Mexico. I'm sure the plants are hybrids, but I can't figure out whom the parents can be. They are grown in a clayish but sandy soil, that is very sticky when wet!
The numbers are Mr. Kristensen's number and marks the spot in which
they grow in the long row of his 44 Yucca plants.
Note that three of them has deep red tepals!!!!! they are very beautiful
indeed.

This plant (Mr. Kristensen's # 44) bloomed the year before and started
several new rosettes after the flower died.
