A Mystery!

So I've had this plant a few years now. It hasn't re-bloomed for me yet. I know it can bloom as it came with a dead stalk and was told it blooms.

Any leads on this would be appreciated
If it does bloom I will endeavor to take pictures and post them up.

Looks kinda like a hosta, but also looks like it's in the sun, and I thought hostas were shade plants, so maybe not? Maybe it's related to hostas?

Looks like a Dracena! Has it been outside long?

I think it could be Lachenalia. Nice flowering bulb (Cape-Hyazinth) early in spring.

Eucomis, perhaps? Also called Pineapple lily. That's my best guess, but can't be sure without a bloom. There are several species and many color variations from solid green to deep purple.

Here's a link to one example:

I'm with Evan. I replied on your Facebook. to me it looks like a Pineapple lily. But again only the blooms will confirm it.

Thank you for looking and your suggestions everyone. Very much appreciated!

Pinapple Lily is looking promising. But as folks have mentioned I'll have to wait for the blooms.

Should have also mentioned it's definitely a Bulb plant
Although the suggestions have me thinking about other plants.... No must resist the temptation!

I have also added some other shots of the plant from different angles.

Funny you should mention Hostas as the slug munched leaf in the top of the original picture is a Hosta.
The picture was taken in the morning, by midday/afternoon it gets some shade. Just good morning light

A few years now. It does look a bit like a Dracena, but I don't think it is

I hope it blooms! Soon!

My first feeling is Eucomis to and pretty sure it is.
