The blue one. Beautiful variety of native blue flax lily from Ozbreed, with broad steel-blue leaves and tall slender stems of tiny purple-blue flowers right through spring.

It loves the dry climates of southern states and WA, especially at the coast, where it looks stunning mass planted. In more humid east coast gardens treat this one as a feature plant, and give it lots of air, light free draining soil and regular feeding to maintain that blue foliage.
