A Breathtaking Yucca Filamentosa - by @crazymumzysa
I could not resist taking a few photos of this beautiful Yucca filamentosa also known as Adams Needle, standing behind a picket fence with the crisp clear blue sky as background.
The Yucca makes a beautiful ornamental plant in your garden. It is a perennial, evergreen shrub and there are over 50 species. This hardy plant is native to America. You can find them in the mountains, deserts and grasslands as they can adapt to a wide range of climates.
They have thick, sword-shape leaves with very sharp tips, a waxy skin to prevent water loss which forms a basal rosette. The flower stems can grow up to 3 meters tall with masses of white-cream nodding bell like flowers. These flowers bloom only after 3 years in early spring.

The Yucca is a very easy plant to grow because it needs very little care and water. It thrives in subtropical climates, in full sunlight and well-drained acidic soil.
Parts of this plant can be used for food (Fruit, flowers and roots), medicine and the fibers of the leaves to make rope.
Beautiful. The colors look stunning.
good work and awesome photography!
What a wonderful specimen. It must be quite old as it has really mounded. I wish the bolt with the blooms would last longer once blooming but alas nothing gold stays. Keep up the great work!
Really nice shot. Posted some photos myself. Maybe u wanna take a look at my blog.
