Whipplei Yucca

Yucca whipplei

 

á      Commonly called ÒOur LordÕs CandleÓ because it looks like a giant candle.

 

á      It was named after A. W. Wipple, its discoverer.

 

á      If you touch its very sharp leaves, they will feel like needles.

 

The Whipplei Yucca is one of the most commonly found plants at the DevilÕs Punchbowl, and it actually does look like a giant candle.

 

My favorite part of the field trip to the DevilÕs Punchbowl was standing on the San Andreas Fault.
