Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

They actually grow pretty well here in the Phoenix area, but not in the full blazing sun. I have a friend who has one in his yard under a shade tree that is growing quite well. Next time I am over there I will try and get a picture.
Mine just above, I got it in 2011 as a tiny seedling in a 2" pot. It has not been well cared for, so I bet only a couple years growth in good conditions. They bloom when small!
