BTA gets the " MST " Pt. #7 ..Yucca love? ..Yucca Heaven!

[Silas_Sancona]

For all the love of these interesting and tough arid adapted natives,  Boyce Thompson is a pretty heavenly oasis in the desert.  Whether wandering through the Wallace collections, or other, desert-themed areas of the Arboretum, Yucca are a plenty here. While other Arizona gardens have great looking Yucca collections to enjoy, something about the natural setting here adds to the enjoyment of viewing. 

While i captured many, Some familiar, others, wavering a bit in knowing well.. i'm sure there are others i missed while wandering.  Regardless,   Enjoy!
