Description
Yucca Twist::...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a fractal design that reminded me of the Yucca plants we had at the corner of our house when I was little kid. I wasn't that fond of them then, because I always seemed to skate right into them! Now as an adult, I find them quite beautiful!
There is another version of this same design called Pink Yucca Twist in pinks and blues. EAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. Its 40-50 species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Early reports of the species were confused with the cassava (Manihot esculenta). Consequently, Linnaeus mistakenly derived the generic name from the Carib word for the latter, yuca (spelt with a single "c"). It is also colloquially known in the Midwest United States as "ghosts in the graveyard", as it is commonly found growing in rural graveyards and when in bloom the flowers appear as floating apparitions.
