Endangered — a Gibraltar Range wildflower drawcard
About
NPWS promotes a morning walk for the waratahs and Christmas bells as one of Gibraltar Range National Park's seasonal highlights — a tufted perennial herb whose large red-and-yellow bell flowers put on one of the park's best wildflower displays.
How to spot it
Narrow, channelled leaves to 80cm long; two to twenty large, drooping bell-shaped flowers per stem, usually red with yellow lobes (occasionally all yellow), each 35-60mm long, flowering in summer heath and swampy heathland.
