A '''Yucca''' is a [[genus]] of [[plants]] of the [[lily]] family found in [[desert]] regions of the southwestern [[United States]] and [[Mexico]].  Yuccas usually bear clusters of sword-shaped leaves and white waxy [[flowers]].  All depend on the Yucca moth for [[pollination]]. The Yucca ''(Yucca glauca)'' is the [[state flower]] of [[New Mexico]]. <ref>http://www.50states.com/flower/newmexico.htm</ref> <ref>http://www.newmexico.gov/</ref> This plant grows easily in the sand and hot [[desert]] climate prevalent in much of New Mexico. The yucca is also called "Lamparas de dios" ("Lamps of God"). <ref>http://www.nmusa.com/yucca.htm</ref>
