The flower is pollinated by only a single species of Yucca Moth, and many of the flowers go unpollinated. It reproduces only by seed, not by offsets as Agaves do. It is slow grower, but a very important plant and it flowers every year . This plant is being over harvested in the wild to meet the demand as an ingredient in pet products, bagged soil and a vitamin type supplements. www.calscape.orgYuccaschidigera

$3.00

"The plant typically takes 5-10 years to reach maturity, at which point it amazingly shoots up a flower spike to about 10-15 feet in about 2 weeks of growth. The spikes bear a spectacular display of hundreds of bell shaped white to purplish flowers. It is pollinated by the California yucca moth (Tegeticula maculata), a relationship which has become a classic example of symbiosis. Working at night, the female yucca moth collects up to a dozen sacks of pollen grains called pollinia and forms them into a massive ball. She then flies to another plant and lands on the ovary of a flower. Standing with her head near the stigma, she inserts her ovipositor into the ovary wall and lays a single egg. She then rubs her pollen mass against the central stigmatic depression, ensuring pollination. The pollinated ovary will now produce many seeds, ensuring an ample food supply for the larva. Although many associations of Yucca and yucca moth exist, Tegeticula muculata and Hesperoyucca whipplei form an exclusive relationship." -Calscape.org Calscape.org_ChaparralYucca

"In antiquity, yarrow was known as herbal militaris, for its use in staunching the flow of blood from wounds. Native Americans had many uses for the plant, including pain relief, fever reduction, and blood issues of all kinds. Yarrow grows up to 3500 meters above sea level. The plant commonly flowers from May through June, and is a frequent component in butterfly gardens. Common yarrow is frequently found in the mildly disturbed soil of grasslands and open forests. Active growth occurs in the spring. This plant is extremely easy to grow, but looks best with regular water. It easily reseeds though it can be aggressive." -calscape.org Calscape.org/Achillea-millefolium-(Common-Yarrow)
