23 Gymea Lily

Gymea Lily Knob

Gymea lilies are spectacular Australian native plants with large, compact heads of nectar filled red flowers atop tall, thick stems.

I added some pictures about the flowering and decline of the Gymea Lily.

I think the idea of the olympic torch might come from that flower.
