I had a few trips to Nadgee Wilderness to try to eradicate these exotic lilies. I hope people are keeping up the work.

Hi Mike, Yep, been there, done that myself. I'm pleased to see that's an old photo. I doubt you could take one like it today. There's been a hell of a lot of work done and they've really got them on the run. However, they are sure to keep popping up, so vigilance will be needed. I had one plant appear in my gully at Brogo, it never got to the point of seeding and I dig it up every time it reappears (while still very small) and I haven't succeeded in eradicating it yet. They're persistent! Jackie
