Our Yucca Flowers are Blooming
From the Internet: Early American settlers, who took note of the large and impressive flower heads, called them “Lamparas de Dios” or “the Lamps of God.” Yuccas are native to the hot and dry parts of North America, Central America, and the West Indies. Yucca flowers are oriented downwards during the day. They change position […]
