Ahh found the flower at thekrib (it's ammazing how search results change every time I do a Google - I know I Googled for Apon. weeks ago).

Hopefully this link will be linkified so click here :) if you are interested.

My flower is yellow instead of the pinkish colour in the pic. I can't find Elongatus latifolia anywhere but I think you may be right.

BTW - The world would not exist as we know it if we could only live 2 years would it? Would we have to work or could I just bludge on a beautiful pacific island?

Hey - I didn't even notice your use of the word "g'day" first time round but when I came back to read it again I realized. Now I'll have to teach you some Aussie slang :) I've been told Americans have trouble understanding an Australian saying the word water - apparently we pronounce it warder? We are very lazy with our speech. (And I talk too much)
