I've found numerous plants that fit this description, but not the right one yet. This plant has spiney (sp) limbs that reminds me of something in the succulant family. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I wish there was a way to identify all of the houseplants I have. I just don't have any luck on the www. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I think that what you may have is a version of a bromeliad called an ananas or pineapple plant. There are many kinds of these, so I can't tell which one it might be. The link below is to a truly magnificent one in fruit. Some of them have the red due to sun normally, some (like mine), only when they get "sunburned" (lol!!), otherwise they are like yours and go back to green and white.
Sorry you don't have much luck with www -- wish I was there to help teach you.

Anything with spines I think of some kind of succulent cactus, or Euphorbia millii. The euphob is very spiney as are succulents. There are a lot of them out there.
One way to tell if it is euphorbia is break a tiny piece off... if white, milky sap comes out, it is euphorbia. Here's a pic: http://members.chello.be/sf16063/pauwels/EuphMili.JPG
Hope this helps!

It might be part of the COLEOUS family,as they will change colour with location.

I can't see your plant, so I am only guessing. Try looking up aloe vera (or aloe).
