Looking for the King 9 - Guard

I think everyone it getting a little tired that the King is proving so elusive.  Here we have a guard standing tall - whew we have reached the gates of the palace! Grass Tree - Xanthorrhoea

  1. Like a sentinal - is this the same as was commonly known as a blackboy?
    It has been an interesting walk to the palace with lots of little precious jewels along the path - I have enjoyed the journey.

  3. Dianne, these are a variety of blackboy but they do not grow tall around here ... more like clumps of grass. Their flowers are however tall.
