Potwisha Campground

A common plant in California, the yucca is an agave relative that blooms in the spring and summer. It's tall, sometimes towering center shoot is topped with a candle flame-like bush of white flowers. These flowers are always open, which allows for day and nighttime pollinators - like moths and bats.
