Thanks for your lovely comments on yesterday's Gymea lily buds.
Here is another photo of a gymea lily flower head. As you can see this one has started going to seed and you can see the seed pods if you look closely.
Also you will see a bird in the picture if you look closely too. This bird is a Lewin's Honeyeater and measures about 20 cm in length (about 8 inches). It isn't a brilliant picture of the bird but at least you can get a sense of scale and the size of the flower head.
@ludwigsdiana It does appear to have many blooms clustered together.
@jamibann There were lots of different birds feasting on the flowers.
@koalagardens I have only ever seen the Lewin's up at Gan Gan.
@pusspup Sheer fluke that I got the bird in the shot, there were lots of birds but moved so quick and the light was fading.
@merrelyn This one had started going to seed and the red was fading. They are red with paler tips and the evening light made the petals look more pink than red too.
@k9photo It is past its prime but hopefully with so many seeds there will be more flowers in Spring.
@pattyblue They are impressive blooms aren't they.
