June 20, 2013 -- green & white/yucca & bssil

This basil had been sitting in a juice glass on the windowsill for a long time. In fact, if you look closely, you can see it has rooted! But this morning it got a special addition--yucca flowers. The big stalk I displayed on the windowsill yesterday morning was falling apart, and dropping florets all over the place, by this morning, so I picked some of the intact flowers (those on short side stems) off and added them to the basil. The greens and whites are so pretty together. And I've loved having a chance to get to know yucca flowers better. They're almost like orchids in color and texture.
