New Mexico State Flower
The Soap Tree Yucca, is New Mexico's state flower.
It is one of the 8 plants that grow on the shifting gypsum White Sand Dunes.
The dunes will bury the plants that do not grow fast enough to out run the sand that is covering it, causing it to die.
The Yucca stems grow rapidly to keep the leaves above the ground.
