The message
from Sacha contains these words:

We have a plant in the garden that neither Ray nor I can remember the
name
of. snip Dianella?

Janet

You're a genius! Ray had got to the 'Di' bit and that was it. Thank
you,
Janet! Now all we have to do is remember where we got them from - one
of
our forays or a present from someone....... ;-)

Ah but which one?! :~)

Which Dianella or which friend? In the case of the latter, was it you?!
In
the case of the former, D. caerulea. D. tasmanica is much taller by the
sound of things. What's curious is that a Google image search shows the
berries in two completely different forms of growth for D. caerulea and I
can only imagine that is to do with climate differences. Ours grows
berries
like the one on the Zurich botanical page and not at all like the one from
a
Brisbane page.

It didn't come from me! I had been given a couple of species by Roger van
Loon who used to be around on URG. I now have 3, D. caerulea D. tasmanica
and anotherone whose name I can not remember but it flowers out of tall
leafy stems and its growth habit is quite different to the other two. so far
they have flowered but been reluctant to berry, I live in hope as it makes
great ground cover in some of the gardens I know, the plants seem
indestructible.
