Carter said:They are bromeliads. Off the cuff, I'd guess they are most likely a variety of Aechmea. Less likely but possibly a variety of Vriesea. There are a few other less common genera & bi-generic crosses it could be, but realistically until they bloom it will be nearly impossible to tell.

Someone at the botanical garden where I took the photo thought it was a bromeliad too. I tried looking for a flower in the center but there was nothing at the time. Hopefully it will be in bloom the next time I visit so I can take another picture. I almost thought it was a yucca. Is that possible?
