I have 2 plants I do not know what they are. The little palm like plant I bought at flea market for 1 dollar. The pretty purple was given to my son by a neighbor.

    The purple one is Persian Shield. Unsure of the other two.

    Persian Shield, and probably a Dracena or a narrow leaf Yucca. The photos are pretty fuzzy and it's hard to see detail.

    I have one of the purple ones just bought at a nursery three weeks ago. I'll have to check the identification stick that I kept and get back to you.

    I don't know about the purple one, but the spiky leafed one looks like a dracaena to me

    The green one looks like a Yucca plant to me as well . They have sword-shaped leaves and get white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of North America. I don't know about your purple plant - it's beautiful! www.portraits-by-nc.com

    The dracaena has softer leaves than this one.

    Could be a yucca. It's so tiny.
