Striped Leaf Flax

Another flax detail is shown here. I think this flax is possibly called 'Maori Maiden'. It grows waist high and from a distance looks like the colours of a sunset.

Close up the stripes look like an ethnic weaving pattern. They are so beautiful - and you'll see many different variations on a theme throughout the plant.

There is some confusion in the naming of the 'Maori' series of flaxes (not just at Mooseys) - several varieties have more than one plant name.
