This guy's finally open.
Absolutely THICK with flowers crowding each other.

Hummingbirds are even attracted to it...hey, maybe we don't need a yucca moth if hummingbirds will polllinate 😀
I'm not fast enough to get a pic of the hummingbird on it.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

The creamy white flowers look so nice, and the flower petals are tasty in a salad. 😀

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

That would be hard for me too live in an area without hummingbirds. 🙁

marceli, Really? None?
😯

Yup, Jesse, 8 inches of rain in June had its effect.
That shot is looking towards the heavily treed slope that faces north...

My side will resemble toast in a couple of weeks. 😆
