a plant with long spiky leaves and white rounded flowers

Yucca glauca - native; Alternate names: Yucca, beargrass, Spanish bayonet, small soapweed; Blooms June - July; This plant is common on exposed hillsides, and flowers bloom along an upright stalk from the spiny base of the plant. Its common name "soapweed" comes from the antibacterial chemical saponin found in the plant's roots. Native people would dig up the roots and cut them into pieces or pound them into a paste that can be used as soap or shampoo.
