Country garden in Norfolk. Chronic illness means can't keep it as I'd like as limited energy and strength. Soil light, sandy. Love most plants.

Now with seed pods. Not sure if they're worth keeping and sowing.

First Flowering of my phormium after years without. Is it the heat? Or dryness?

Mine is flowering for the first time ever and I have also noticed quite a few when out and about. Maybe it is something to do with the mild winter. It is an interesting flower. @gardenchap

I got one flower last year after 2 years with none. This year there's around 10 after I dug the ground around it at cut it back a bit. It must be loving the Lancaster climate at the moment.

It is quite different isn't it @euphorbia. Fascinating. Does it open out more @LynnS ?

If memory serves me correctly, they are at full bloom when they look like the ones at the bottom of your photo.
