No the flowers are similar to our native flax but even bigger . But thanks anyway . I have googled and googled but can't track it down :(

I know the one you mean but I just see it as flax

Are the leaves harder than succulent and with spikes on the sides of it! Flower spikes - how many are there from one plant! Can you post a piccie at all!

Doryanthes perhaps!
