User's notes
One group of about a dozen plants in flower in Mulligan Flats next to the Bird Trail.
Is this likely to be Pauridia glabella as per Betty's previous comment - single leaf bract on stem?

Sorry I initally got confused by the cat-ear flowers. If I'm honest I'm not sure there is enough detail to be certain, it doesn't look like hypoxis so could pauridia i suppose. I'm not aware of Betty's comment but have found often her advice to be often unrealiable, so would be great if you could link that in here.

No worries. I am happy to accept that these are most likely miniature Microseris walteri. I have never seen them that short. My assumption of a lily because of the leaf is obviously wrong with a daisy head like that. Thanks.
