Hello Jim and Rob,
Yes it is always with some sadness when a Yucca bloom, specially if you only have a few plants in the garden, but if you like me has a lot of plants it's a spectacular sight when 30 yuccas bloom at the same time. When you have many plants you will always have many which has rosettes which is at their best.
If you prefer single rosettes you can always carefully cut of the "extra" rosettes and give them to you friends or plant them elsewhere in your garden.
In your climate this far in northern Denmark, the new rosettes rarely starts growing in the same year as the plant bloomed, it usually takes two years or more until the rosette is "intact" again.
Hopefully we may be so lucky, that we can breed a hybrid which quickly regenerates it self after it has bloomed.
Yucca 'Albuquerque Mystery I' has never bloomed, my mother-plant were sown in 1995 I think, and it grows a short trunk. I would guess that it may be available i USA within a few years.
