(2) Stunning blossoms of Spanish Dagger (Yucca faxoniana) grace the private Terlingua ranch the second week in March. (3) Ringed by mourning doves (Zenaidúra macroúra), a scaled quail (Callipépla squamáta) feeds at a remote homesite in Brewster Country, Texas, near Big Bend National Park. (4) Blossoms of Ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens) are on the verge on the private Terlingua Ranch. The plant and its sky-scraping red flowerers are ubiquitous in the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora and the U.S. states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. (5) A blossom of Hibiscus (Hibiscus denudatus) graces the desert.

Yucca

The genus Yucca (49 species and 24 subspecies) is native to hot and dry areas of the Americas but they grow quite well in Vancouver. Most Yuccas have long, skirt-like petals that hang straight down and demurely hide the plants stamens and pistil. However this particular Yucca has decided to make a bold fashion statement and it doesn’t seem to care who’s looking at its reproductive parts.
