From the SIRIS description:
A yucca plant, with a main stem or stalk which divides into two arms. One of these arms also divides, leaving three terminal endings to the branches. At the tip of each arm is a yucca blossom. The piece is a fountain. Water is pumped up through the arms and falls out of the flower petals.
The sculpture is at the rear of the church building in a small enclosed courtyard area. A metal gate is closed when the church is not being used, sometimes limiting access to the sculpture.
