Flowerheads of New Zealand Flax (<i>Phormium tenax</i>), an evergreen perennial with long sword-shaped leaves. A native of New Zealand, it is now grown as an ornamental but was once harvested for its leaf fibres. Although very tough, the leaves of wild plants are usually heavily chewed and notched, as these are. The flowers are nectar-rich and a favourite with birds. Order: Asparagales, Family: Asphodelaceae
