Hi Teresa, Looks like it to me, but I'll await David's confirmation. Good score if it is, as I've only seen it in one other location down here (Towamba cemetery). Looks like you put your afternoon to good use yesterday after the false start with Green Cape.

Very unusual flowering time, usually autumn/winter and well finished by mid June
