Spanish Dagger in Bloom
Spanish
Dagger can be a very dangerous plant but it is also quite beautiful when in
bloom. There are several planted in my yard. You need to be careful when
working around these plants as they can even stab you through your jeans if you
aren’t very careful. They are capable of inflicting
some pretty serious personal damage along with a significant amount of pain.
These are
fairly young Spanish Dagger plants that are only about four feet high. The
stalk with the blooms is about six foot high. They make an excellent form of
natural security for your home. If someone stumbles into one of these plants in
the dark, they are going to have a very unpleasant experience.
Like many
things in nature, they can be both beautiful and dangerous.
Got Spanish
Dagger?

Zowie these plants hurt when bumped into - I know because I've planted them at both homes I've lived in (after the lawn mower guy broke into my first home, luckily he didn't see my inside dog while casing/mowing my yard, chomp!)

I've bumped into mine a few times when working in different areas of the yard and it ain't fun...that's for sure.
Thanks.
