They bloom profusely

PICTURE OF THE MOMENT

 

When I was in high school I helped my uncle Rodney build his house in Riviera, Texas. Actually, all I did was go around and gather up all the Schlitz, Budweiser, and Pearl beer cans. One other thing I remember was helping Rodney plant yuccas. I despised them because of their sharp pointed leaves, and the plants were huge…. bigger than me!

Out here in San Diego the darn things bloom, and I actually like them!

I don’t remember ever seeing one bloom in South Texas. Here in San Diego they bloom profusely.

  1. They are beautiful! :)

  2. Our next-door neighbors in OH put a yucca by their mailbox and it was massive! I’ve never seen any color but white – love that purple-tinged one!

  3. Awesome…love the color combinations

  4. Beautiful photos with such wonderful light. :)

  5. Love the purple hue, you captured it nicely, thanks MJ

  6. Lovely images. You’ve captured them well and I know from personal experience they are not one of the easiest flowers to photograph.
