What is it?

I was driving around looking for a photo and saw this plant. I have no clue what it is and hope someone can tell me
This is a beautiful photo. It is a Yucca plant. I have a ton of them. They should be blooming here soon.

Yup, it's a yucca. I have a few of these. I've always heard you can't kill them, but I had three and now I have two, I'm just sayin'.

That is so pretty and I have no idea what it is.

They stay green all year but the flowers do not last long. It is a very hardy plant.

@cscecil Ha ha, I find them a bit strange!

Great photo! I've never seen one, Isn't it nice that there's always someone here who can help with identifying plants and animals. :-)

I actually knew what it was! A Yucca. My parents had these at their previous house.

Yucca but sometimes called a century plant out west. They actually have them in the grand canyon.

Ted
There should be a nicer name than yucca for such a fine looking plant

Harry, thank you about the challenge. I don't care about winning but I wanted to do it for Robin Warner who started this one. I also think Vivian Maier is an inspiration and I wish I could have followed her around.

This is a lovely Yucca. I like the contrast of the spiky leaves and softer flowers.

@highway266 Thank you Ted, I agree with you
