Victoria Palm

This plant is maybe 14 inches high and 12 inches in diameter The plan is called a century plant and this year has a 15-17 foot spike. The spike is filled with buds and I hope I get to witness the blossoms.
Victoria Palm
Many San Diegans are respecting the water conservation plea of our local government. More and more yards are being planted with drought resistant plants. This particular neighbor has had his yard planted with succulents and in early summer it is a show of blooms usually found in the dessert. I thought you might enjoy this unusual sight. My neighbor said it was his first time ever to see this spike in nineteen years.
