Not sure it's sotol. Sotol has long skinnier floral stems. These look like some sort of Joshua plant. Not the tree.

The plant does have prickles on the leaves. Thanks for identifying it for me!

does it have little prickles on the edges of the leaves? I'm thinking maybe sotol - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasylirion_...
