These beautiful fringe lillies are from Western Australia – although I managed to grow them in my garden on the east coast.

They form a spectacular display over a few days as each individual flower gradually opens.

The species name is Thysanotus multiflorus.

Thysanotus tuberosus is found on the east coast, but only has a single flower head.
