Didn't see that wide ball coming............
That'll give Flounder some more splinters ....

Pampas seedlings look like Cordyline but rough to feel.

I know cortaderia seedlings and that isn't one, so the tweezers need not come out to play

You know what, I'm still not 100% sure either way. I still reckon it's a phormium, but I'm now more 70 / 30 on the split! Thanks Arlon for posting the baby cordlyine pics,
I have a few but mine are a bit bigger now, whilst my phormiums are still tiddlers.
What makes me think it's a phormium is the way the leaves are sprouting out opposite each other,each new leaf emerging in the fold of the previous one. I'm pretty sure that when my cordylines were that size the emrging leaves were in more of a circular fashion. However, Arlon's cordyline pics do look
very similar. But I'm sticking to my opinion.
Wilza, you'll have to keep us updated!

It's not rough to touch like pampas grass.
I'll keep you all updated.......
