DIANELLA TASMANICA (VARIEGATED)

This Variegated Flax Lily from the Phormiaceae Family is a native of Australia and has bold white striped variegated leaves, unlike the normal Dianella ensifolia.

When planted in masses, this tufted perennial tropical flax looks stunningly captivating against a darker background. Its small flowers have an understated beauty that it often overlooked.

DIANELLA ENSIFOLIA

This is a native plant and is sometimes referred by the common names Umbrella Dracaena, Cerulean Flax-Lily.

Interestingly, the Family Xanthorrhoeaceae or Hemerocallidaceae which the plant belongs to are obscure to me. Anyway, the flowers and its fruits are rather unusual.

The lily-liked plant has small yellowish floral buds that opened up to review white petals. After pollination, round blue berries are produced, the colour of which is uncommon for a fruit.

In fact, the variegated plants are even more attractive.
