Yucca treculeana Carr. flower

This dramatic plant may be as much as 5 meters(16 ft) tall in bloom. The flowers are eaten in some parts of Latin America as a seasonal treat. Yuccas are pollinated by a moth that carries pollen from one plant to another and actually stuffs a ball of pollen down the stigma of the flower. She then lays her eggs in the ovary of the same flower. This deliberate pollination insures that her offspring will have seeds to feed on in the developing fruit. Jan.-April

    Lovely! I think it is a Yucca (sp) flower, they grow very tall. One stalk out of spikey leaves with wonderful white flowers.
