I was in Campbell River B.C. last week and spotted these recurvs. Nice looking yuccas. :D

Jay thanks for posting those pics.

The one in the third pic is a stunner.

These things are all over North Nanaimo and are quite repetitious in newer landscapes. Dispite being numerous, not too bad for a garden variety Yucca. Campbell River is definately colder in winter than here.

Cheers, Barrie.

The vast majority aren't seen along any major roads or highways, but in private residential gardens off the beaten track. In some areas there 9 out of 10 that have 'em.

Cheers, Barrie.

Yeah, That's the same here Barrie. When I used to do residential deliveries for work I noticed alot of nice gardens with yuccas and cacti hidden away. Not many though.

Regards,
Jay
