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.
