New Year’s Resolution #7: Learn a new language.

This plant, Yucca aloifolia, is commonly called Spanish bayonet, or Spanish dagger. Get a little closer to its leaf tips, and you will quickly learn why! Some people in warmer climes have been known to plant this under windows as a security measure. Since this plant originates in the southern US, you don’t really need to learn a new language. But perhaps its name will inspire you to learn a little Spanish history!
