TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Yucca

On our recent travels, we spent a night at Cowell South Australia,

a seaside town servicing the grain farmers whose product once

was loaded on seagoing vessels at it's very long jetty. Although

the silos are still in service, the grain is now trucked to Port

Lincoln for shipping. The other product here is the locally mined

jade, cloudier than New Zealand jade but pretty none the less.

I found this Yucca elephantipes, in a very pretty planting between

footpath and the road.

It made an attractive display shielding pedestrians from passing

traffic and providing plentiful food for any number of small to

medium sized birds.

A close up of flowers and buds just for eye-candy.

Needless to say, although we only spent one night there, I did

get in a nice bit of fishing from the jetty in the evening.

Just click on any or all photos and they magically enlarge.

Thank you Luiz for letting us share our flowers through your meme.
