Hi Barb,

I posted a couple photos on the German Yucca board and they too didn't come up with an answer. Here's a couple opinions which seems like everyone else has stated.

Furcraea foetida 'Mediopicta'

http://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdisplay.asp?plant_id=660

or Agave sisalana variegata

I did a Google image search for both and I'm not sure if it's any of those.......seems confusing.

Get it to bloom and we'll ID it for sure! 😛

Tim, thanks for doing that.
Appreciate it.

seems confusing. Get it to bloom and we'll ID it for sure! icon_razz.gif

Would love to see a 25 foot tall spike :compress:
Doubt it'll ever do that, but glad I put it in a huge ceramic pot.
Its winter home will be in the cold building.
Thrilled with the 2 pups too.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
