My daughter is in Exmouth, England and wondered what this is. I am new to this site, so be patient with me!
Hello ashleysonlynana I think it may be cordyline or NZ Cabbage tree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordyline_australis
Hundreds of tiny flowers in each full-sized plume. Commonly sold and planted as annual bedding centerpiece, some here tagged "Spikes Dracaena." Zone 9 item often retaining tops for some years here in Zone 8, freezing back to roots periodically but re-sprouting. Planted so frequently as to serve as microclimate indicator plant, able to keep tops and grow large in banana belt areas.
