Yucca in Bloom

Onomatopoeia is one of my favourite words, because not only does it mean to  imitate or suggest the source of the sound that it describes, I think it also does sound like what it describes.

But what about words that describe what they describe, like orange? What are they called?

Whatever the answer, Yucca flowers are definitely not one of them. They are pretty much the opposite of Yuck. Is there a word for that? 

This is what a Yucca looks like when you bring it home. Unfortunately I'm not rich enough to own a vase that can hold it. So I had to chop it up. Sorry Yucca!
