Flax, or Harakeke in Māori, is a versatile and iconic plant native to New Zealand. Recognizable by its long, sword-shaped leaves and vibrant green color, Harakeke is highly valued for its strong, fibrous fibers which have been used traditionally by Māori for weaving garments, mats, and baskets.

Flax produces striking spikes of bright red or yellow flowers, which are a favorite nectar source for native birds like the Tui and the Bellbird. This hardy plant thrives in a variety of environments, from coastal areas to wetlands, and plays a crucial role in erosion control and habitat restoration.
