Have you seen our Gymea Lily?
Doryanthes excelsa

It has sparked a lot of interest in our library users.
We have noticed that there was only one flower last year, compared to two flowers this year.

"Also known as the flame or giant lily, long thick stems shoot from the centre of the plant, producing spectacular red flowers in spring that grow on stems that can reach heights of between 2-4m. The compact heads of these large tubular flowers are rich in nectar, attracting a range of nectar-loving birds such as honeyeaters"
