The spikes are oriented vertically and appear to be growing from the same plant, as they share a common base. They have a slender shape with tapering ends. Each spike is approximately 1-2 inches in diameter and has a greenish-yellow color with hints of brown towards the top. The blades are long and thin, with some appearing slightly bent or curved.
