Phormium ID

Can anyone identify this Phormium please?  I thought it might be P. tricolor but I have another one with a distinct red margin, so I don't think it is!  Thank you in advance.

    It's does favour tricolour, perhaps cream delight?

    I thought Cream Delight as well.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Thank you @Perki and @punkdoc, that was my other thought!

    I think it has too much green in it for Cream Delight, although there may be variations from plant to plant. My Cream Delight looks much creamier (so to speak).

    I see what you mean @KeenOnGreen, thank you.  Mine may possibly be a version of P. Tricolor with a very feint red edge rather than a distinct margin which you can see in my third photo, I think!

    These are of P.Tricolor which I have nearby, the margins are distinctly red, with a green centre and outer cream band/s.
