Hey,

I shot these in my backyard, but haven't a clue what they're called. Nice fragrance, and doing well in the full sun of the 100+ degree days we've had.

    Jack,
    I'm not a botanist, but even if I was one - images do not show, so I'd be helpless anyway...
    Check your links...:):

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Fairly sure they are a type of Yukka plant, which love heat. There is a lot of native varieties of them in the US, I don't know which.
