Discover the captivating beauty of Phormium tenax, also known as New Zealand Flax, in its natural habitat. Witness the Tui bird intimately feeding on the nectar-rich flowers in the North Island's lush landscapes, such as the Rangipo Desert near Mt Ruapehu in Tongariro National Park. This iconic plant, native to New Zealand (Aotearoa), is cherished for its striking, sword-like leaves and vibrant spikes. Known as "Phormium tenax" or "Phormium tenace," it is also celebrated in other parts of the world, including the USA and Washington, where it thrives as an ornamental plant. However, beware. Its invasive nature in non-native environments, like Saint Helena Island, can pose a threat to native ecosystems.
