    It's not a grass it is a phormium, can be a bit of a brute but I love them mine has just started flowering to.

    Yes it's Phormium (New Zealand Flax). There have been a few posts to identify this plant just this month - I think many have seen it flower for the first time this year too. I noticed that the bees like the little tubular flowers. 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    It is indeed a brute and seems a wee bit crammed into the space there. I dug mine out in the end.

    If I ever meet a man with a digger mine'll be in peril. My garden is big enough to hide it behind other overgrown things but it was put in a stupid place.

    I've given up on the quote function. I just :

    Dove says "I think the quote function is better on some devices than others."

    which seems to do the trick.

    Good old copy and paste.

    I've seldom had a problem with it...I think only once before and my device hasn't changed. Generally that's what I do HF But I thought I'd live dangerously. image
