This off topic but I thought I would share.
A guy I work with stays in AZ with his dad in the winter, and this is his dad's place. Look at all the palms he has. I have often drove by this place in envy.

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.

I love the pic in your avatar.
I told my friend he needs to rake me up a bunch of seeds, of course I tell him that every year. Never happens 😡

Aaron wow, cool yucca in that first link.
In the second link, saw the stone-dead CIDP and a gorgeous trunked yucca.
couldn't find the W.filifera.
Nice street ... could imagine myself puttering around there.

The yucca is the filifera, that is the type of yucca it is. "Yucca filifera"
Looks like a nice place to walk around. 😀

, saw the stone-dead CIDP
If you look close it is still alive, but needs the old leaves trimmed off.

Still alive?
Looks like it's on its way out, rather than coming back. 😆
It's seen better days, judging by the huge diameter trunk...should have a lot more height to it.
I love all the gravel landscaping, obviously a necessity there.
A nice diversion from our green/sometimes brown lawns.

Yes, the gravel feels nice and clean when maintained. I like grass as well, but if it is not uniform and green throughout then it can look trashy. 🙂
