@WendyEM . Good evening !
Some lovely clearly focussed photographs.
Not sure why this was not a verified identification earlier – just missed by us moderators somehow.

All the best,
Jason.

Thank you for us sharing the reviewing !

Yeah most interesting !

_Bulbine fraseri_ only from Peter F. Horsfall and David E. Albrecht (2020 April 20) was this resurrected to a current species name, from long time synonymy within the previously broader description of _Bulbine bulbosa_ .

Whoops - Bulbine fraseri wasn't/doesn't show up in the NSW PlantNet key for the genus. I've just checked the Qld Bulbine key - the flower in the photo does appear to have spreading anthers opposite the inner tepals, which would make it B. fraseri.
