What a sight! I know this as the Chaparral Yucca that has bloomed becauase of all the rain in California. It’s also knows as Hesperoyucca whipplei, Our Lord’s Candle, Spanish Bayonet, Quixote Yucca or Foothill Yucca. So pretty! tonythetigersson, Tony Andrews Photography Yuccas can live up to 20 years but they flower in their final year and die after making fruit.
