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.

They are a yucca related plant from mexico 🙂 They don't get very big, but have a cool growth at the base of the plant.

No, they just grow a interesting root ball at the bottom of the plant, there is a special name for the root ball but I can think of it right now. I also think they are closer related to dasylirions than yuccas 😳

No problem 🙂

Hey Josef, we have a car thread in off topic. You should post some pics of your car there 😀
