Gymea Lily

Posting a bit early today because we are out for Christmas eve drinks later this afternoon and evening at a friends house.

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas.

This photo isn't the best in the world and I took it a couple of months ago, but I wanted to post it to show just how tall Gymea lilies grow. They look like beacons.

Today's main album photo

Wow what size vases do you have to have for these flowers Babs, great capture and point of view;)

These look taller than you. Definitely lily leaves but the flower is very foreign.

Happy Christmas Babs and Dave.

@eyesmile Thanks Gena, have so valued your friendship too.

[Babs]

@pcoulson ha ha. I think it could be a bit of a struggle getting these in a vase. Maybe need a giant Santa to help out.

[Babs]

@kathiecb Thanks Kathie. They are indigenous to the coast of New South Wales and can grow to over 6 metres tall. They are a wonderful sight and look like beacons in the bushland.
