My real life yuccas.

Several years ago I painted a series of botanical illustrations in watercolor, one of which was a yucca filamentosa.

There are two areas of yuccas in my front yard. For many years, they’ve both bloomed, but this year one of them is chocked full of buds, and the other has nothing. It might be because I got too aggressive pulling out dead, spiky leaves last year. ☹️

But any day now this one is going to be full of blooms that look like this.
