Flower of the Day – Xerophyllum
***
These large green plants have spiky and sharp green stems that flare out. They are commonly known here as bear grass, or yucca, but their other name is Xerophyllum. In this photo it is in the foreground and behind that is a rose bush with red flowers.

Thanks, Sadje! It is, and there are a lot of plants that start with x for their scientific name. I just rather call them by their commonly known name. We see these kind here everywhere. 🙂

Thanks, Emily! I like them a lot, and here people have them in their flower beds and in landscaping around businesses. Don’t want to get too close though because those leaves are sharp! 🙂
