Could do a timing split and a few work from differnet times on tape.
I have started this and working along slowly the tape is an hour plus so 15min sections would perhaps move it along quicker. If it is important that is is done in a day or two....

Like I said - it's not a ten minute job.
I can do some tonight. I'll start from 1 hour in and see how I go.

Depends who you ask
According to The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew:
Phormium tenax
New Zealand Flax
The name Phormium comes from the Greek for ‘basket’.
A truly versatile plant, it is known to the Maori as ‘harakeke’. They traditionally use its tough fibrous leaves for making mats, baskets, clothing, fishing nets and rope. They also use the pollen as face powder and the roots for making medicine.
These qualities have resulted in Phormium being widely cultivated.
Found throughout New Zealand, Phormium was one of the first plants to be discovered when Captain Cook landed in 1773.
Phormium is now an invasive plant in many parts of the world, proving a threat to sensitive floras.
