Yucca glauca ssp. glauca
Here are some resent shots of Yucca glauca ssp. glauca in flower.
In order for Yuccas species to produce seed they must be pollinated by specific moth species. The yuccas and their pollinators have a codependent relationship know as a Phylogenetic Relationship. It is an interesting intricate life cycle. Here is an article that explains the Phylogenetic Relationship between the yuccas and their pollinators.

Ps There is a method of hand pollinating yuccas to produce hybrids. Here is a link to that informatiom.

Geez man, what a show!! Are there any cacti in there? I guess well see in June......
I cant wait to come for a beer. And ill even buy.
You better quite it with those wild flowers, or ill report you to 'Victory Garden' and youll have to tour a bunch of stuffy brits.
All jokes and BS aside, sweet stuff man, youve got quite an eye for plant placement
