    Answer

    Dear bpasq_2000, good morning. Your plant is a species of Yucca, and it may be Yucca filamentosa (Spanish-needle), a member of the Agavaceae. Go Botany is currently experiencing a glitch in that only one image will load (repeatedly), so I can't see the full set of images you uploaded. If you would like me to examine all three separate images to provide a more confident answer, feel free to email them to "ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org" and I can study them further.
