The Gymea Lily (''Doryanthes excelsa'') is a Flowering Plant indigenous to the coastal areas of New South Wales near Sydney . The plant has sword-like leaves more than a meter long. It flowers in spring and summer, sending up a flower spike up to 6 m high, which at its apex bears a large cluster of bright red flowers, each 10 cm across. The name Gymea Lily is derived from a local Eora dialect. The Sydney suburbs of Gymea and Gymea Bay are named after the lily. Links at the Australian National Botanic Gardens :
