Can anybody ID this?

The one in the pic seems almost to be spikes, or maybe even a spiked flower...

Regardless, the suggestions offered are some really cool-looking plants, and I may be off the hook - I think she's going to go with the Red Temple for the splash of color she's looking for.

Now if I could only find one of the elusive underwater flowering plants, tranquility and peace would return... LOL
