X	(The right plant is Y. hybrid #1402 the left is Y. 'Ivory')

This is one of the first successful pollinations, that were made in my garden in the summer of 2003. The seed parent were a  Yucca glauca, which I did get from the former nurseryman P. C. O. Nørgaard, from the Isle of Mors, in Denmark, it had flowered many times in P.C.O.'s unheated greenhouse, and the pollen parent were a large "blue" form of Yucca filamentosa/flaccida, which probably is a hybrid of unknown herritage.

Of this cross did I get 2 seed pods, which were given an individual number:

#1818 Yucca "Jensen hybrid" (1461 Yucca glauca X 1402 Yucca hybrid # 1402)
#1844 Yucca "Jensen hybrid" (1461 Yucca glauca X 1402 Yucca hybrid # 1402)

I have not been able to see any significant difference on any of the above, and they are very similar in growth.

The fiist named clone is Yucca 'Elena's Star' the name were published in "Der Wüstengarten 2, april 2011".

The seeds from this cross were sown in 2004, and the first flowers are expected in July 2010.

Short description of this hybrid:
Plant: Most likely to be acaulescent, and spreading by short stolons (rhizomes), or maybe it will grow a very short stem, this is only a guess at the time of writing.
Leaves: stiff, erect and spreading, 57 - 65 cm long., up to 20 mm wide, glaucous, with many strait or curling rather thick fibers at the margin of the leaves, which is up to 12 - 16 cm in length.
Inflorescense: glabrous, 117 cm high, mostly racemose but with a few short branches held in an upright position 10-15 cm long . Scape 83 cm starting from between the leaves.
Flowers: pendulous (bell shaped), the second day they open fully like a big star 12-13,5 cm wide when open, greenish white, 6 to 7 cm long . Outer tepals redish in color 25 mm wide and 70 mm long. Inner tepals greenish white 42 mm wide and 75 mm long. Ovarium greenish white 30 mm long and 10 mm in circumfence. Stigmalobe green, 10 mm long. Taste of the flowers somewhat bitter.
