Field Notes

Description:

Interior of yucca bloom.

Habitat:

Shallow soil on shady hillside beneath an oak and Mexican Buckeye.

Notes:

The twist-leaf yucca (Yucca rupicola) is low-growing with “soft” twisting leaves. In the late spring it sends up a bloom stalk with white bell-shaped flowers. This Hill Country endemic can grow and bloom just fine in shady areas under live oaks
