This is a Yucca plant. They only bloom once a year or once every two years. On the Waldo Canyon Trail I happened to cross by numerous ready-to-bloom yuccas. On the way down the trail I was going a little too fast and swinging my arms a little to far out to the side because when I gently brushed my hand alongside the pokey leaves, they jabbed into my fingers and hand! There were little holes all over my skin, each of them leaking a little blood! Although yuccas are really cool, they are also very deadly to the touch!Sunday, June 15, 2008
