Jocelyn's Favorite Desert Plant

Red Yucca!

We planted our first planting for the "fall". I hadn't really noticed these plants until Jocelyn came to visit this summer. She said if she lived in the desert, this is the plant she would plant!

After finding a good deal at the nursery, we bought and planted three red yucca's along the fence on the east in the front yard.

Our red yucca are young and don't have any blossoms this year, but we're still excited!

I'm so glad you posted a picture. It is delightful! To think that such pretty blossoms can come from such a hardy plant. I'm anxious to see all your landscaping! I love to go window shopping (LOL) at nurseries - whether Walmart or Evergreen (small to huge). I picked up 3 blooming violets this week!

I keep seeing the title of this post in my side bar and I start craving chocolate or cheesecake.

Jocelyn, the chocolate or cheesecake kind has two of the letter s, since you want more dessert than desert!

My subconscious doesn't care how many letters are in the word, it still brings images of tasty treats to mind.

Between Jocelyn's favorite "dessert" and Andrea's celebratory dessert, I'm getting ready to break into Jack's left over birthday ice cream cake!
