No, I am not gonna be philosophical here. We all know what the title could mean.
Nope, not gonna happen.
It is a lot simpler than that.
We used to have some yucca plant in a pot at home when I was younger. I don't remember what happened to it, but I know it never bloomed at home. Many many years later I saw yuccas growing in Portugal like any other tree. Outside in a garden. All year round...
And then I saw the flowers and I was blown away! The tall stem full of creamy tulip-like bloms. That was just something amazing! But they plant was always in a place where I couldn't reach them. So for years I was admiring it from a distance hoping that one day I will be able to touch the flowers and smell them.
This spring I visited my mum and what did I see in a garden? Yucca!
She didn't have it there for long that's why I never saw it before. Also it has a short blooming season so it was easily missed.
But... how in a world does it survive Polish winter in a garden? And then I started to see them in almost all garden on our street... WTF? It was like a yucca invasion! They definitely weren't there few years ago.
It almost looks like some trend (or a garden shop promotion) that everyone had to have one. And that is fine by me. When they bloom they are just amazing! And I think they require almost no care.
I didn't take a photo of the whole plant, cause there was lots of bushes and other flowers growing around. Only the flower stem was sticking out. So I stolethe photo from the internet :p. This is how her looks like.
