    It’s some sort if bromeliad, though without a flower it’s hard to know which one. Here are some similar ones: http://www.bromeliad.org.au/pictures/Quesnelia/marmorata2.htm

    That is so cool! They look just like curled ribbons on a birthday present 🙂 What a fun plant!

  4. It looks like a bromeliad to me. I have one with light green leaves that tend to curl although not that much.

      Thank you for your help, Teri. Another blogger suggested the same name for the mystery plant. ~amy
