Great to see so many of this mini lily 50+ growing inside the upper Seed node @ the Fair Mt Majura in a small area only. Protected from (Rabbit) grazing by Seed node fence. These plants are All natural recruits. Outside the Seed node these lilies have become rare / absent. This is a testament to show that Overgrazing of Native Forbs is a very significant issue here

https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/1214, great observation; and you will not find a single kangaroo pellet in the fenced enclosure either; I closely monitor the lower fenced site once a month....
