The Spanish bayonet (yucca) in the foreground is a native species in the Southeast (here at it's most northern range), but it it typically planted as on ornamental shrub, elsewhere.
The Native Americans used the plant for fishing. Toxins can be extracted from the plants roots and stems to stun fish, and of course, the bayonet leaves can be fashioned as tools. Their points are extremely sharp; just ask any landscaper.
This shot was taken in the interior dune secton near False Cape State Park (about 4 miles north of the VA/NC border) which periodically floods from coastal storms/huricanes.
