The yucca tree flower is characterized by long, slender spikes that can reach up to several feet high, adorned with clusters of creamy white, bell-shaped blossoms. Each flower typically has six petal-like tepals that hang downwards, creating a graceful appearance. The flowers bloom in the spring and summer, often attracting pollinators like moths. Overall, the yucca flower exhibits a striking contrast against the plant's spiky, sword-like leaves.

The common name of Yucca brevifolia is Joshua tree. It is a tree-like yucca plant native to the southwestern United States.
The Joshua tree is actually a variety of yucca plant, and not a real tree at all. It reproduces sexually by flowers and fruit.
The yucca plant has long, sword-shaped leaves that are usually stiff and pointed at the tips. It also produces tall flower spikes with bell-shaped white flowers. Yucca plants are known for their drought tolerance and ability to thrive in arid environments.
A yucca tree can grow up to 30 feet tall.
Yucca Elata
Ylang-ylang is a flower on the ylang-ylang tree.
The scientific name for the Joshua tree is Yucca brevifolia.
The soap tree yucca (Yucca elata) occurs in the Chihuahuan and Sonoran Deserts.
In Joshua Tree National Park, the yucca moth (Tegeticula paradoxa) visits the Joshua tree blossom at night, rolls the pollen into a ball, flies to another flower, and ascends the pistil to force the pollen ball into the tubular stigma. Using her ovipositor, the moth then lays 4-5 eggs within the flower's ovary walls. Her young are therefore assured of a food supply after hatching. The larvae consume about half of the fruit. There is "no other known instance of an insect which sems to pollinate the flowers so deliberatley." A "shocking" 90% of the Joshua tree's flowers die before producing fruit. The relationship between the yucca moth and the Joshua tree is said to be one of "coevolved obligate mutualism;" a complete mutual dependence on each other.
Yucca filamentosa, the most common type, Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree), Yucca aloifolia (Spanish bayonet), and Yucca gloriosa (Spanish dagger). Yucca baccata and Yucca glauca, are called soap plant.
