Is that called chocolate lily because of the scent Fermi?

Hi Gail,
apparently so, though I couldn't smell anything much at the time!

There was also this daisy which used to be a helichrysum but is now Coronidium scorpioides!

There was also a dianella growing with the arthropodium blending nicely

And there were still a few "Milkmaids", Burchardia umbellata, though they usually are earlier flowering,

A belated happy birthday wish Fermi. I hope you had a great day. How many's that now? 35?

Stopping on the way home from Bendigo earlier in the week we found some stunning wildflowers:
Firstly Cheiranthera linearis, Finger Flower, named for the appearance of the stamens

The native Bluebells were also amazing - I think these are Wahlenbergia stricta

Xerochrysum viscosum, the Sticky Everlasting, was profuse this year though you can see why it's sometimes hard to find seed!
