Wondering what kind of plant this is #91049 May 12th, 2006 at 04:34 AM

OP libertybelle Junior Member L Joined: May 2006 South Carolina	My grandmother recently got a plant that we have no idea what it is. She got it from her sister's house after her sister passed away. It is a medium sized plant with a thick Snake plant like leaves with spines along the edges. The leaves have gray mottling on them much like a Snake plant. There is a large pinky spiny blossom growing from the center of the plant. Any help identifying this plant would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mandy
