This the emerging tip of of a flower stalk on a Yucca Filamentosa (Yucca filamentosa), taken in May 2023. Sure looks like an asparagus spear to me, and with good reason.

Yucca plants and asparagus belong to the same plant family, which is Asparagaceae.

Don’t try eating that asparagus looking Yucca tip though, it will taste like soap.
