Allow me to open by saying that I can take no credit for this angel, nor can I take credit for her sisters in the backyard. They came with the house; I just took the pictures. Nevertheless, my hope with this project is to better familiarize myself with all the components of my home landscape, as well as to expand my gardening knowledge in general. What kind of gardener can't name the plants in her own yard? Some quick work with Google ("tall plant with bell-shaped white flowers") tells me that what I have here is yucca filamentosa. I am a fan, I must say. I enjoy the incongruity - long spikes at the bottom, soft white blooms at the top - and the way the epic shoot culminating in such bright flowers essentially makes yucca filamentosa the floral equivalent of an orgasm. A pleasure to meet you, darling.
