    Yucca, of the houseplant variety?  Yucca guatemalensis?  Or maybe dracaena?  I have trouble between telling the difference of a few of those varieties.

    Thank you I thought so but there was another one that look like it the dracaena I believe

    Are the leaves fairly flexible or stiff?

    Dracaenas have much finer leaves. I'd echo yucca.  :)
    It doesn't look like there's any drainage for it in the pot. You'll need a saucer underneath if there's holes in the pot, and if there isn't, you'll need to pot it into something else. Usually a plastic pot inside the fancy one, with some gravel on the bottom, provides room for any excess water to drain.
    They need good light, but not scorching sun by a window, or nest to radiators etc  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
