Yucca Bloom

San Diego, CA

It was not until I stood underneath the Yucca flower cluster and looked up that I saw spiral or twisting of the individual flowers.

Here is an image of the Yucca plant in front of the Junipero Serra Museum in Presidio Park. You can click on the image to see a full sized image.

Oh yes I see it... massive display here... Ive got them in my garden, and once a year they flower... not quite as big as this though.

Cool shot for the challenge Astrid. The yuccas seem to be blooming early this year. Did you walk over there from our picnic?
