Yesterday, I spotted a deer on my property for the first time since the end of summer 2012. It showed up at my wildlife feeding area, where I'd put out birdseed, suet and peanuts shortly before I saw it. So, I decided to walk around the property outside my fenced yard. Sure enough, it must be Deer Yucca Feast season! Some of the yuccas had been starting to bloom. Here's a pic of a Twistleaf Yucca bloom stalk inside the fenced yard and a "pruned" one also that's on the outer part of my place.
