I think this plant is a Yucca Gloriosa (?). It normally buds in September and flowers fully in November (approx 6 weeks) but this year one spike flowered normally but then two more spikes grew to full height with all their buds on but it still hasn't flowered and the weather is above to nosedive. These are well established plants and look quite tough as they have a thick fibrous covering, even on the buds. Do you think they will still flower soon, wait until the Spring or die in the bad weather please
Ann - if you could post this query on the Plants section - scroll up to the top of the page, you'll see a heading Forum topics, click on that and you'll see various threads - you'll find a button to let you post a query - then someone who knows about Yuccas may see it.
Good luck

Have just been up the garden to have a look at my little Dickinsonia tree ferns which i covered with propogator lids during the latest cold spell they are doing great they are surrounded by straw,which keeps the base of the tree fern protected from the wet and frost.
Thanks Rissa. My Yucca seems pretty indestructible as it has been in the garden for years now. The buds are just beginning to open as we have had some sunshine lately, albeit 3 months late!
I just can't stop thinking about these plants. Whenever I'm not out in our garden, I'm usually surfing the Internet to find more info about plants. Once I'm in front of my laptop, I just can't help but to do a quick search through mysearchresults.com (http://www.mysearchresults.com/privacy-policy) and look at all the beautiful pictures of plants.
Can anyone advise me on moving my Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum Japonicum) I've had it in a fairly small decorative glazed pot for six or seven years and in that time it's grown to about nine feet tall.It's been fine where it was but now i need to move it and of course the roots have grown out of the pot and anchored it into the soil around.
I obviuosly can't get it out of the pot so i'm wondering,if i cut the root and just move it is it likely to die or the alternative is to uproot the whole thing and replant it pot and all.
I've read that they grow up to 40 feet in America and 100 feet in their native Japan.Anyone have one here in the UK and can tell me their expected height?I've only a smallish garden.

I have a wishing well in my garden which look amazing.
If I throw a coin in there can I wish for spring?
