The strange looking Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) is a member of the Agave family that typically grows in the Mojave Desert. Legend has it that Mormon pioneers named the tree after the biblical figure Joshua, seeing the limbs of the tree as outstretched arms. The Joshua Tree doesn't bloom every year which may have something to do with the amount of rainfall received. This Joshua Tree blossom was photographed at the Split Rock area in Joshua Tree National Park, California.
