AFogArty
Excellent capture, I deal with this plant, and have always looked at this as a fault, never thought of taking a photo. Unique idea, performed perfectly.
Phormium tenax ‘Surfer boy’ ( I think )
JUSTART replied
thank you so much
wasn’t sure if it is a fault in this plant…not all the leaves were like this.
AFogArty
I’m sure I was told it was bug induced. Not fatal to the plant, but in Tas, I have noticed it lead to other conditions. But hey wow photo, I will look at this plant with new eyes now, may even steal you idea in the future ( I will credit the original ) ( hope you don’t want royalties lol )
