I spent the last two nights in a tent and the last two days taking care of 14 girls - no that's not the torture. I am exhausted and I need to sleep and I have no good photographs to post. So I am sitting here waiting for an idea to hit me over the head like I have just been mugged and I simply can't keep my eyes open any longer. And not sleeping? That is torture.(One hour passes....)
OK... found a phtoograph, but I can't remember what the plant was called. I thought the common name was "Torch" or "Flame of God" but nothing is coming up under Google. If I remember correctly it blooms every 100 years like a century plant... may be a century plant... but too, too tired to think or even type. So just enjoy the image. Good night.
From my friend Jeannie: Yucca whipplei - commonly called "Lords Candle" Blooms once and then dies. Handles fire quite well. Pollinated by one type of moth at night - Yucca moth. Fruits are edible - taste like green bell peppers - I've had them.
