Phormium cookianum (common names: Mountain flax)

just added some pic's for you David have a look i can't remeber the guys id name on ebay but my plant is a root division so you never know he may well offer them again this year! it does look very simular to this picture, and the picture of this his mother plant on ebays plant was just like this one in yours! may take a few years before it looks like this one but well worth the wait me thinks!

might just be able to help you out here, - i have one which looks the same variety, ofcourse mine is much smaller as it is a young plant, but if i am right it is a P. 'Cream Delight'. i bought mine from ebay last year for around £6 - but me thinks it will be a few years before it reaches this size. i'll take a pic for you and post it!

They do it on purpose David to give us sleepless nights and grey hairs from working through books and sites! Still it's worth it just to enjoy their beauty

I thought you might, Maple - me too. Wish the label had been left on.

I want one!!!

Hi Majeek - I'm thinking about selling a few plants on e-bay. Do you mind me asking how much you paid for this plant? I'm not sure about how to price my plants...?

Many thanx for looking into this for me. This does look just like the one in my pic. Will be visiting E-Bay this evening, I think (more money, lol!)

Yes, I have one of those black-hole sheds as well......

thanks Sid, it's a water feature, i bought it last year, Brooke picked it out in the sale. it does have a pump somewhere and the birds spit water into the bowl at the bottom, only thing is i put it in the black hole i call a shed last year and - well lets just say it's such a mess in there things go in never to be seen again! it has been on the top of my list of things to do for the last 3 months! lol

Ok. I like the birds (?) in the background :-)

don't think this is big enough to divide yet anyway only a couple of years old.

I like this one also - but I know from experince they are a devil to divide!

Wonderful colour

Great close up, bright.

I can see why u like this 1 best :)

Thanks Jac, it is a really lovely vareity of phormium, i now have two i also have 'Cream Delight' which is also lovely, but i must admit this one is my favorite!

Fantastic Colour Ang :) Love it :)
