Looks like something from the Yucca family ... "Yucca is the common name for about 40 species of herbaceous plants in the genus Yucca of the century-plant family, Agavaceae. Native to arid regions of North America and the West Indies, yuccas require a well-drained sandy loam. Plants may be stemless, with large clusters of thin, pointed leaves rising directly from the soil, or they may produce woody trunks that reach heights of 12 m (40 ft). The white or violet flowers, borne in large panicles, open during the night to emit scents that in some cases attract only the particular species of moth required to effect pollination.
Yuccas are cultivated extensively as ornamentals in southern North America, although a few species are hardy farther north. Adam's needle, Y. filamentosa, found in the southern United States, is nearly stemless; the leaves, up to 76 cm (2.5 ft) long and 2.5 cm (1 in) wide, terminate in a narrow spine. The similar Spanish dagger, Y. gloriosa, found in the eastern United States from North Carolina to Florida, grows as high as 2.5 m (8 ft). The Joshua tree, Y. brevifolia, a tall, irregularly branched yucca that grows to heights of 12 m (40 ft), is found from Utah to southern California." http://www.flowers.org.uk/plants/plantfacts/yucca.htm Cheers, Erika ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:214187 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
