Hesperaloe tenuifolia

Hesperaloe is a small genus related to the yuccas, with all of the species found in northern Mexico or across the border into the southern United States. This one is Hesperaloe tenuifolia, with a very restricted range in southern Sonora State, in northwestern Mexico. It forms a small clump of narrow grassy leaves with tall inflorescences bearing bell-shaped pink flowers. It puts out flowers a few at a time over a long period in the summer and autumn months. The seed pods, seen in the lower photo, are rounded with a hard beak-like tip.
