    While in New Zealand , I`ve noticed this plant growing where no other was growing , apparently is a super hard and indistructable , no animal dare to get closer ......the yellow flower spike can actually survive for 2 years ,
    hardy to any soil , frost , snow and draught .

      Interesting looking plant Sal, reminds me of a Yucca. Love the first photo particularly, what a fantastic backdrop!

      Doesn't mind being in a windy site then. :heehee:
