You guys nailed it, thank you. Now I know my plant is toxic if broken, and that it probably hates being by my air vent.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try and save the plant. My dear husband uses this office every day but despite the fact that the plant is nearly 7 feet tall and 2 feet wide, for some time he says he forgot it was there. Its in an unobstructed corner that is only about five feet from of his desk but he says he just hadnt noticed it. I havent been to his office in years but today I decided to go. Unlike him, my eyes were able to actually focus on the elephant in the room and detect that it had not been watered in, well decades. Thats not exactly true. He was thoughtful enough to put a water globe in the soil but what year that occurred I'm not sure. LOL Do any of you have significant others who have similar problems with their eyesight? ' Lord help me......

It was me! I am the guilty party. <hangs head in shame> I thought I had it (the species had "corn" in the name -- I can't remember what the full name was), but posted too soon. Upon further research, my answer was wrong, wrong, wrong. I deleted to try to hide my hasty and erred posting, but got caught. Someone PLEASE find the answer, it's driving me insane. I had these disturbing dreams last night, "Blue wildflowers in Texas, help me internet" .... and Google tortuously kept showing me nothing but Bluebonnets. WHAT ARE THEY. I need to know before I go to sleep tonight!

The blue colored grass is blue fescue, Festuca ovina glauca. The chartreuse next to it is some sort of low growing juniper, possibly Juniperus horizontalis 'Lime Glow". The taller, dark green conifers appear to be slender Hinoki cypress, Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gracilis'. Can't see anything clearly enough or in enough detail in the first photo to identify anything else.
