Thanks Jacky - I think this may be a first record of this lily on Red Hill

Michael - Thanks, as discussed, I think this was near the boundary of Red Hill Nature Reserve and Federal Golf Course lease, but is not coming up in either. There seems to be a gap between the two boundaries, both for a small sliver of Hughes suburb and a larger expanse within Red Hill suburb. Same issue can be seen in the photos which come up as nearby sightings.
