In a garden? I usually see it wild in the bush, and wondered how it would naturalise to a garden. Dianella or flax lily. It’s berries will be worth your photographic attention too. Your shoulder’s been a long time frozen. Any sign of unfreezing?
Yes in a garden down the street from me 😊 Thank you for identifying it. It’s lovely. Are the berries lavender in colour??
The shoulder’s been bad for two months now. I’ve seen the doctor, he thinks it’s actually a torn rotator cuff. Ultrasound and X-ray this week. I’ve written a post about it actually…. more to come.
No. Not a torn rotator cuff! I had a mild dose and the physiotherapist was useful. My daughter a much more severe one that required heavy duty drugs to enable her to get to her sister’s wedding. May the testing lead to healing. Dianella berries are an incredibly rich shiny purple, but not as beautiful as an untorn rotator cuff!
An extraordinary plant, and am thankful to Meg for the identification. A frozen shoulder is a horrid thing. I once had two at once when we were desperately trying but failing to sell our home and move. I found several sessions of Shiatsu massage (i.e. acupressure through light clothing) started the unfreezing process. Wishing you well 🙂
Oops I didn’t get to finish. My doctor thinks it’s actually a tear, and not frozen. I’ll know more later this week. Thank you so much for your well wishes. 😊
It is a beautiful flower and composition, hun, and you get more points for making it with a frozen shoulder and handheld. A true master. Would like to try acupuncture! It was the only thing that helped me. Sending my best vibes to you.

Oh thanks Meg. Yes the pain is getting to be unbearable. Sleeping is almost impossible. I’ve had enough. Ultrasound booked in for tomorrow morning.

Oh cool! Looking forward to seeing the berries. I have a photo of some purple berries but I’m not sure if it’s the same plant….

I love blue-ish flowers; so seldom do I get to see this hue in flora. These are so delicate, so fairy-like.

Good luck getting to the bottom of it. You don’t realise how incapacitating a stiff shoulder can be until it arrives.
