   It looks like a form of yucca.

   I too would vote for yucca. It’s those sharp, long leaves. But it could be anything in the same family and semi tropical plants, unless I grew them indoors, aren’t my forte. It’s got a very pretty flower.

      I know. The petals look like leaves. I, too, think it is a Yucca, but don’t know the variety. I’ve been meeting with construction guys and packing all day..Driving to my 3 day beach retreat tomorrow so should be getting to sleep but you know how it goes..Trying to get something posted for tomorrow. I may not be able to post for next 3 days!

   Could be Nolinaeae – Beargrass family. This from the Internet:
   Nolina parryi S. Watson 1879 (Parry’s Nolina)
   is distributed through Southern California into Baja California below 3000ft. Often seen as a ground-hugging clump of fine olive-coloured leaves, it can develop a short 6ft trunk with age. Leaf margins are furnished with tiny sharp teeth. The 6 ft inflorescence is a panicle of small cream-coloured flowers and a group of flowering plants makes a superb display. It is surprising that Nolina parryi is not grown more often as a drought-tolerant succulent plant in dry landscaping.
   Nolina Michaux 1803
   Named: after an 18th Century French botanist, Nolin.

   There are 25 species of succulent plants included within the genus Nolina, mainly distributed from California to Texas and into Mexico, where the majority of species are found. Rosettes of different species may be stemless or on tall woody trunks. Tiny serrations on the leaf edges make them feel rough to the touch. The decorative inflorescence bears thousands of tiny cream-coloured flowers.
   Do your leaves have that rough edge?
