Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

An Act of Violence

I came home from church and wanted to walk through my garden. I started in the front yard. And saw something terrible. Someone had broken off the bloom spike on my false yucca (hesperaloe parviflora). Dang.

Its pink flowers would have greeted bank patrons all summer long.

The spike is spectacular, because it is nine feet tall and because the flowers keep opening all summer long. But it only blooms once per year. Some years I’ve gotten more than one spike, but this year, it looks like I’m only getting one. And it’s now lying broken on the sidewalk. Dang.

Such a waste.

    Maybe they thought it was the world’s best asparagus plant. I would have liked to have been there when they bit into it.
