Thanks for the info about the flower - that's some height isn't it? I will definitely have to come over and see some of the wonders for myself - to think until now I had never seen anything about Oz that made me want to go there!<br /><br />JaneMarigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754404636941782233.post-17671219984453609752010-09-07T02:54:31.717-07:002010-09-07T02:54:31.717-07:00PS the Gymea Lilly stalk was about 10 foot high!PS the Gymea Lilly stalk was about 10 foot high!Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754404636941782233.post-71080076391628959412010-09-07T02:53:24.873-07:002010-09-07T02:53:24.873-07:00No offence Jane .

These flowers are certainly unlike anything we have here and quite exotic. How tall was that strange one in Sydney? It's hard to tell if it was as tal as the palm tree or if that was just because it was in the foreground. Lucky you to have such lovely warm temperatures - it's really getting much chillier here now especially in the mornings and evenings and 24 degrees would be a summer temperature for us!!<br /><br />Jane xMarigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.com
