Yucca filamentosa

The Yucca filamentosa is a native local plant- we affectionately call him "Spike" and endeavour not to touch because OUCH those spikes hurt!
The spikes are actually in a sort of corona around the plant- but it was 92* outside and I got a little hot ;) Humidity is not so bad, being below 50%- that's rather pleasant for around here ;)

Also added a picture to the project and journalled a large bee...

These are all beautifully done! I always thought those yucca plants were pretty and I love your drawing of one! That brown paper is perfect for those white blooms. The muffins look awfully tasty and your bee page is terrific!
