What do you think about reasons for identifying as *Bulbine bulbosa* ?
Cf. *Bulbine glauca* ?
I'm checking your photograph closely now looking at botanical key features shown in it.
Any more photographs available please, especially of the foliage and close–up focus on one healthy flower ?
For example one key feature visible here, yes, the hairs on the stamens occur far enough below the anthers for *B. glauca* (not *B. bulbosa*).

Thanks @Jase yes it is B. glauca, absence of hairs around the anthers. Just fat fingers selecting in the app. Happy to confirm as glauca!

I have undone your accidental phone screen tap of *B. bulbosa* as a suggested identification,
so you can redo the identification to *B. glauca*.
The first hand sighting author's identification has most importance.
