Yuccas on bluff above Shoal Creek
This spiny plant is growing about 2 meters off the edge of a dead end road at the bottom of a hillside that seems to be wild areas of homes with large properties. This is not an area that looks planted.
I think it looks like an agave because of the patterns on the fleshy leaves where the leaves pressed together in the buds. It has downward facing, curving spines on the leave margin.
Slight tint of blue on the wings
