Yucca in bloom

 

Yucca plants are not cactus although they are succulents and thrive in dry climates. They are also not confined to desert regions. They bloom annually and grow slowly. Here is a short explanation from Wikipedia: Yucca. 

Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. Its 40–50 species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of the Americas and the Caribbean.
