Golden Lily

September is the best time of year for the native ground orchids and lilies So we missed most of them - but this little Lily was still blooming in one of the small moss and lichen patches..

@casablanca I'm afraid I may have to be a spoilsport! This little guy is not at all like you lovely lilies. He's only about 6 inches tall and has no perfume - but he is a native and very cute. He grows in the same places a the orchids so we were pretty excited to see him - all the orchids had been and gone - September is a great time to travel - but you miss all the little orchids!!

@rosie00 Hi Lesley - we were pleased to at least see them - missed all the orchids.

@jgpittenger Thanks Jane - macros seem to be one thing that my camera does well.. :)

@golftragic Thanks Marnie - it's nice to be home and find all of the little natives - though we missed the orchids. :)

[Dorothy]

Very sweet little lily.

Pretty little thing and such a nice splash of yellow.

@robz I agree. We love travelling, but there's no place like home.

@nobled Thanks Dorothy - they are remarkably tough for such a pretty little thing.
