Astelia nervosa leaf close-up.

OoOh this is nice, not seen them before, do they get big? do they flower? - i really like,

beautiful colours

I am told that they spread a bit more but don't grow much taller. It may not flower here - but IF we get a warm summer, it can send up flower spikes - either greenish-yellow or purpley-brown. Not very exciting - it's the leaves I love!

Those leaves are fantastic !

your right Spritz really does'nt matter if it flowers or not the leaves are Stunning, really different colouring. might have to look out for one of these, sure i could slot one in somewhere lol

I hope you find one, Angie! :-)

Lovely colours.,

Thanks Spritz, shopping for plants not usually a problem for me lol - only thing is i will proberly find another half a dozen or so that i simply 'must have' in the process lol

.....Mum just rang, and i have to go take her car for an MOT this week, and it just so happens that the MOT place is right next door to a rather nice little nursery, oh dear, i will have an hour to kill while waiting for the car, this could be leathal to my bank balence! lol

Hope you find a gem, as well!
