NATURE'S SURPRISE
About three years ago we planted two yucca plants at the bottom of the yard near the Leslie sculpture. It did well and wintered nicely. Each year it sprang forth with new greens and seemed to be thriving. This year David noticed a stalk arising from the center of the plant. We kept close tabs on it everyday and were amazed to learn our pampered little yucca was going to bloom for us. No doubt expressing it's appreciation for all the good care we gave it. What a joy it is to look out the window each morning and see those lovely ivory blossoms. I am not so well informed about yucca, but I shall have to research it. I am curious to know if it will bloom annually now that it has matured. Ah, how lucky we are to live here with all the beauty surrounding us.
