I shot this on April Fool's day but haven't posted it because I've been
searching for the name. I finally gave up --- so I'll post it anyway.
Maybe one of you can put a name on it.

Looks like a lily.

Thank you Barbara. I had the name a few years ago but lost it in a hard
drive crash and my brain is kind of "iffy" sometimes.

Heh, I so know the feeling.
We've just bought a small acreage, we're going to build our retirement home
on it. It's mostly bushland with some landscaping that was done years ago
and although I know the names of some of the plants on the block, damned if
I can recall the names, it's driving me crazy at the moment. I'll go up and
take some photos this weekend, so I can sit down and hopefully ID them all.
I do know there is a lot of Dutchman's Pipe vine growing there, that will
have to be poisoned and destroyed, that will be one of my first jobs.

How exciting Barbara, retiring & starting over! I loved the photos of your
tropical paradise back yard.
I am curious as to what small acreage is in Australia? *g*
Still enjoying your photography.
Cheers Wendy
