I've had this plant since I was a teenager. The original plant has probably been in the family for much longer. When I was in uni I used to do a lot more gardening, and evicted this plant to a rock crevice next to my garden, since ribbon grass has a habit of taking over as much space as you give it. I never thought it would survive, but survive it did for twenty odd years. It's still there last I looked. Before mum went and sold the house. hrmm. Anyway, a few years back I took an offshoot of it. They don't grow very well in Canberra (too cold for them) but they do well enough inside. So I have several now, because it's very happy and keeps sending off new shoots.
Ribbon grass flowers only last a day
And this is a salad I got from the farmer's markets in Bungendore a while back. The tomato I added, but it had fun things in it like nasturtiums and flowers. It was a fun, tasty little salad.
