A 9x12 watercolor sketch of yucca plant. I'm working on a shrub grasslands portraits of nature series, with the soapweed yucca plant being at the top of the list. The blooms of these plants were lovely and prolific this year. I'm enamored with them not only because of their usefulness (soap, edible, medicinal, etc.), but they have a uniquely symbiotic relationship with the yucca moth. I've read that the moth is the only pollinator of the yucca plant, and the yucca plant is the only food source for the moth larvae. So cool.
