FRIDAY NIGHT PHOTO
Since I don't get enough exercise I have started walking. On my walk-about I found this huge cactus plant. You can't tell by the photo but the plant is about six feet tall or taller. It is about the width of a king size bed. It is really big.
I see these plants everywhere; however, I don't know what it is called. I assumed it was a cactus plant but can't seem to find its name.
I just marvel at it simple beauty.
this is a nice little spot for somebody who is outdoorsy but you need to multiple The profits very smartly.

Good morning Sussie Sutton . They almost looked like a variation of the Spanish bayonet. Like you, I need to get out and start doing more walking.

LikeBrendaAndrew said... I think it's a century plant now.
It looks like a century plant, but I'm not sure. We have one at one of our rental properties and it is shooting out a big flower from the middle. These plants get huge! It is beautiful, thanks for sharing!

I think you are right! I am going to check it out.
WOW! That's a BIG Cactus! I can tell by the fence in the back and its size in relation to the roof line too! I would imagine it's slow growing and if so it must be very, very old!

I am sure it is very old due to the size alone. I am tempted to stand next to it and have my picture.
Thanks Lou! have a great week!
Sussie, I agree with the others here.... that is one big cactus. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting Rebecca.... I really want to take a picture next to it.
Hi, Sussie. Cool picture. Isn't that some kind of Yucca plant? It's pretty awesome whatever it is.

Not sure I still have not Googled Century Plant yet!
Hello Sussie and that is a beautiful plant and I have a friend in Morgan Hill in California that has 5-6 feet tall plants just like this.
They are amazing and very valuable ;o)

I want one of those really tall cactus' found in the desert. I would have to grow one of my own. I would would not want to go and dig one up.
What huge plant! Can't say I've ever seen a cactus so big. Thanks for sharing it.

Yes it is big. Today I saw the owners in the distance. I wanted to go and ask if I could go onto their property to take a picture with the plant. Then they left. Oh well maybe next time.
That is big, really big Sussie. I wouldn't want one that big in my yard. THose things stick.

My fear is that someone could impale themselves on one of those leaves... they are super sharp.
Sussie, I believe the plant is a Yucca Gloriosa. I have one in one of my flower beds.
