The sight of several wispy tendrils had me fascinated when I first saw this plant in a shady corner. The soft pastel shades of the curved leaves also grabbed my attention – so I tried to make the most of the leaves as well as the miniature tendrils.
The plant is a Variegated Yucca (Yucca filamentosa), known for its delicate pink candelabra-style flowers.

It is a tough, beautiful plant. Great shot, David! Probably it will sell a few plants…
So glad you like the shot. This one was growing untended, Betty – so you’re right, they must be tough plants.
