it doesn’t happen often, but i have failed to identify this plant. it was growing in stinson beach near the california coast in marin county. it had yucca like leaves but soft almost like day lilies or irises. i tried yuccas and agaves and succulents and irises and lilies and california plants with stalks and orange pods and about a hundred other things. any of my plant nerds out there care to help out?

unidentified california flower (later found out it was Phormium)

stinson beach, california

    I believe it is a Phormium (New Zealand flax). The NZ native birds love to drink the nectar from the flowers in spring so I’ve spent many hours looking at them.
