| Good afternoon! I picked up thi basket for my sister, who lives in California to put on our Mother's grave for Mothers' Day. I know about the Begonia and Asparagus Fern, but I can't remember (or find it listed) the name of the plant in the middle of the basket. My sister thinks that it is called, "Spanish Swords." I thought they had sharp points, but this plant does not. Can someone help me identify the plant? Thank you so much!  Bringing more beauty to the landscape. |

| To me it looks like a Dracaena. I'm not sure which one it is. Dragon Tree (Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia) Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

| Lovely arrangement and I agree, that spiky plant looks like Dracaena marginata. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Thank you so much Plantmanager and Plantlady. I couldn't think of it to save my life. Years ago, I had one like the second picture you posted Plantlady, in my house when I lived in Florida. Thanks, again to the both of you!!! Pat Bringing more beauty to the landscape. |

| Another possibility would be Spanish bayonet (Yucca alifolia). The common name got my attention. |

| It really does look like Dracaena marginata. The yucca doesn't have lines on the margins of the leaves like that, and the leaves are wider. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

| Ctcarol. Thanks -that came to my sister's mind also; however, it can't be a Spanish Bayonet, because it does not have the sharp needle like tips -the ones on this plant do not have sharp points and are slender leaves. I believe that it is Dracaena marginata. I appreciate y'alls help! Bringing more beauty to the landscape. |
