Yucca elata

I know it's not small but it is deserty.
Here is my specimen of Yucca elata. This is starting to out grow it's space.You can't squeeze by it without a puncture wound to two,
so I've resorted to Bob's trick of clipping the tips off the offending leaves. It makes it a lot more user friendly. It is starting to grow a trunk and I hope that in a few more seasons it will high enough to sneak under the leaves.

Particularly fine white flowers on that one. What is the pale color Penstemon in front?

The Penstemon is Penstemon palmeri. It is one of the few scented Penstemons.

Your plant has the nice gray/green leaves

There was one growing some miles south of me that had a quite respectable trunk. You don't see very many tree yuccas in Denver and here was this Y. elata growing in a front yard next to a green lawn. Very strange combination.

I noticed that, I don't think I have ever seen one with green leaves before.
