Can anyone identify any of the plants that are used in the landscape of this home?

The spiky things could be Cordyline or Phormium, hard to say which (or whether it's something else entirely) without a closer shot.

i agree....the tall spiky things are probably a flax of some kind, the foreground almost looks like a hebe and the little grass thing on the right looks like blue oat grass or maybe blue fescue. hard to tell from this distance

I'm too nearsighted to tell:) If you can get closer detail so the shapes of the leaves show, it would be helpful.

Frederick, I've noticed that you've posted several pictures like this where it's all distant shots and it's hard to see what the plants are. Are you looking at these pictures as inspiration for your own landscaping and wanting to know what those plants are so that you can create something similar in your yard? If so, rather than having people try to ID things in these pictures, maybe you could start a new thread and post all the pics in it, tell us what it is that attracts you to those landscapes (and maybe post a pic of the area you're trying to landscape too), and then maybe people could suggest plants that would work in your zone and that would be the right size/shape to get you close to the look of some of these landscapes even if it's not the exact same plants.

Hey, that green stuff is grass ... lol. The right side has a low growing shrub: Fescue. And the tree in the middle of the spikes appears to be a type of cedar. I agree with the close-ups as better ID pictures.
