I was fortunate to photography the blooming yucca in Monument Valley this spring. They do not stay around long. The grazing cows and sheep wrap their mouths around the base and clean off the stalk of the delicacy. These were gone before I packed up my tripod.

At Joshua Tree Park, they are found in abundance. The valley is called Yucca valley after it. In the background are million year old rocky outcrops that are really fascinating.
Yucca grows and flowers a few houses down.
They are perennial shrubs and trees in the Asparagaceae family.
Have a happy day

There are numerous yucca trees at the side of the lane we walk up to the village and many of them are in flower. I've never seen so many yucca trees in one place and definitely not that many which are in flower. I cut one of the flowers down and took it home to see if I could get a half-decent photo out of it. It's about 2 feet in height and laden with the types of flowers you see.
This week's Smile on Saturday theme is "Flora in Monotone" and way outside my comfort zone, but fun.
Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. Its 40–50 species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry parts of the Americas and the Caribbean. Wikipedia
Amazing how green these yucca plants were in September following a long, hot summer. These plants need no water the entire summer! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_schidigera
Life on land in the Paria Canyon is primarily relegated to the areas above the flood zones. Torrential rains in the summer unleash floods that scour the narrow canyon bottoms, removing any plants trying to gain a foothold. Perennial plants including cottonwoods, box elder, willows, ash, yucca, cacti, and numerous grass species occur on areas where water and wind deposit sand that is high enough to evade the floods. These are also the areas backpackers use for camp sites. The high walls limit the amount of sunlight that reaches the canyon bottom, and first light can be a couple of hours after sunrise has occurred.
