This family includes species like Dianella caerulea, Dianella levis, Xanthorrhoea, and Geitonoplesium cymosum. On page 57 of an old botanical book from the early 19th century, we can admire a beautiful illustration of Dianella caerulea.

This unique plant stands tall with its long slender leaves reaching towards the sky. The combination of watercolors and ink creates a striking image that highlights its natural beauty. Flipping through the pages brings us to page 230 where Geitonoplesium cymosum takes center stage. Once again using watercolors, pen work, ink detailing along with pencil touches; this artwork portrays the elegance and gracefulness of this particular species within Asphodelaceae. Beyond these illustrations lies a world full of wonders related to Asphodelaceae. In America resides the Red-Hot-Poker plant which adds vibrant colors to gardens across the country. In Namibia's Quiver Tree Forest near Keetmanshoop lies an enchanting sight - silhouetted Quiver trees against a golden sunrise or under starry skies at nightfall. These Aloidendron dichotomum specimens create breathtaking landscapes that leave visitors in awe. The New York Botanical Garden offers another glimpse into Asphodelaceae's beauty with painted Lady Hemerocallidaceae, commonly known as Daylilies.
