As we drive along some of our country roads, I notice many of the yucca flower blooms are over for the season. For some reason, ours are always late and are currently in full bloom. Maybe it is our location at the base of the mountain, or maybe it is the species.

From the Internet: Yucca plants are perennial, evergreen shrubs or trees with long, sword-shaped leaves arranged in rosettes and clusters of white or cream-colored flowers, adapted to dry environments.

Flowers are often fragrant and attract pollinators, particularly yucca moths.

I saw several white yucca moths fly away as I was adjusting the stems for my camera view today.

I love the beautiful design of the inside of the flower.

More from the Internet: Yucca plants have been used for ornamental purposes, valued for their architectural form and drought tolerance. The flowers, stems, and young leaves of some species are edible and used in local cuisines, particularly in Central America and Mexico. Historically, yucca fibers were used to make ropes, baskets, mats, and sandals. Extracts from yucca are also used in soaps, shampoos, and natural remedies for their cleansing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
