MY YUCCA, THAT ISN'T

We have had this yucca in our yard since we purchased the house in 2015.  The ends are very sharp and hurt if you touch one. The end of March I noticed this stalk shooting out of it. Never saw it do this before.

Apparently this is not a yucca but a Century Plant and at the end of its life cycle.
 

The stalk grew and grew. This was how tall it was by the end of April. They grow 15 to 30 feet.

 It had little branches growing out of it. I called it a coat rack. If you look closely at the top there is a dragonfly. They loved sitting on the top of it.

When we left in the middle of May the branches had little buds on them.

When we returned June 8th the stalk looked like this. Will it bloom now?

June 12th,  this is what the ones on the bottom started to do. Is that the flower? Yes, the ones I looked up on line were more yellow and flowery.

This is June 14th and bottom half looks a little orange. A very strange and not a real beautiful plant.

 The bees really did like it a lot. As the flowers die the seeds fall to the ground and can be planted to have this occur again in about 30 years.  Pretty amazing.
