I couldn't resist posting a picture of this plant we have growing in our front garden just now.
I don't know it's proper name - but they are very spiky and grow rather large then shoot up this amazing long spike - about 10ft tall!
Pretty cool eh?Do you have any unusual and impressive plants or flowers in your garden? Leave a link in the comments if you have any pictures to share - I'd love to see!
OK - best get to this week's party now....
Tuits are very hard to come by, especially the round ones. For years people have been saying, "I'll do it as soon as I get a round tuit". Well now you can have one of your very own, and all those jobs that have needed doing will finally get done!
Next, I love this fun and super simple idea from The Pin Junkie:

Thanks for hosting! My guess is that it is some type of Century Plant. We have them in central texas and they grow up to 30 feet.

PS: Is it a gymea lily?
This is my little tree in the front yard. I don't know what kind it is, but the blooms are lovely! http://accidentallywonderful.blogspot.com/2013/02/first-glimpse-at-spring.html
ReplyDeleteThat's a yucca! We had them in our yard when I was growing up in California. Right now, here in Kansas, there's *nothing* growing. It's all buried under the snow!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already, btw, I'd love if you'd come join my How To Tuesday link party, too.

Thanks everyone!! I've been looking up pictures of the named plants everyone has mentioned and it seems that my spiky plant is a Yukka, and a Century Plant and a Variegated Agave! Who would have thought it would have so many names!! Thanks for your help everyone - and for the links - so nice to see your pretty flower and plant pictures too!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a Yucca!
ReplyDeleteA century plant is an Agave, and it only gets one spike and then it dies (legend is it happens every 100 years, but they actually don't live that long).
Yuccas get a tall spike that grows almost overnight, and it happens at this time every year.
HTH!
Renee in AZ
Thanks Renee! Yep - these only get one spike then they die, so I guess a Century plant it is! :)
DeleteThank you for hosting the party.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI added my table topper.
See that picture of your garden gives me a little envious, winter is here and all you see is white, white and white, is now snowing outside, I hope that winter will end soon, to see the plants in my garden!
Have a nice week !!
