Can you please tell me what kind of Flax the green ones (to the far left) are?

10 years ago

I love the height and the color of the green flax on the left. Will you please tell me what kind they are? I am trying to find a Flax that is upright (like the one pictured here) but doesn't grow to 7 feet tall when mature. I would really appreciate your help. Beautiful landscaping by the way!

The plant that you were asking about that are behind the New Zealand Flax plants, which are actually blooming, are known as "Anigozanthos" or more commonly as "Kangaroo Paws". I saw these for the first time today at a local nursery in Ocala Florida. They come in a variety of colors however I have only seen the yellow variety in person.

I have included a few pictures of the different varieties where you can see them in more detail.
