I see from that link that it used to be called a dracaena .. probably where the old book got it from .... must get some new gardening books I suppose !!!  

which might explain why i thought it looked a bit like a dracaena marginata then  ::)

Seemingly they grow like that, that is why ours is in a pot, to keep it smaller and under control. :)

Have to agree with Mrs 'F'. It's a Cordyline, also know as a Cornish Palm.  :)

The red one could be 'Cordyline australis Red Star' but we'd need to see a closer view of the foliage.

Will see what I can do, will see if I can get some more pictures.

when i was with my x i bought a house plant that grows  tall and outward, it used to sit in the corner, we decided to re position it one day. couple of days later it started dying, we moved it back in its original place and it came to life again. strange how plants know, no wonder prince charles talks to his  ;D ;D ;D
