Grass Trees.

 I don't know what it is about Grass Trees (Xanthorrhaea), that is so appealing. I love their varied shapes and forms as do so many other people.

Some are fat, some are skinny, some are short, some are tall, and they all have mops of bushy 'hair'.

Seen from a distance as here above, all the old flower spikes sticking up look like a field of swords or sticks ready for the battle. Grass trees grow very slowly, so although some are quite small they may be many, many years old.
