Plant Identification: Dracaena 'Warneckei' Lemon-Lime

Question

Unknown orphan I inherited a bunch of plants. This is one I cannot ID. Can you help?

Answer

Hi Neil, the photo doesn't reveal scale, so it's hard to be sure, but it looks like a Dracaena deremensis 'Warneckei,' possibly the 'Lemon-lime' variety.
