How old and how big a clump is it, Fred?

Hate to tell you Pam, my "seedlings" are now 6 yrs old ish (can't remember!)
grown on in pots and still haven't flowered. The tallest leaves would be 1
metre tall and the clump would be 1 metre across. It is in tropical
Aberdeen, though :-)

That's about what you'd expect for a mature clump. Below is a link to a
picture on my site that shows an example in the wild.

Incidentally, I just today added some shots of a few Phormium cultivars -
'Jester', 'Evening Glow' and 'Pink Panther'. Use the search facility or the
category lists if you want to see them. Regretfully, at web sizes they all
look much the same.
