Dichopogon strictus -chocolate lily placed as # 6 in the wildflower series
This series all have a coded letter to number relating to a nearby cache.
Dichopogon strictus, commonly known as chocolate lily, is a herbaceous perennial plant species native to Australia. The common name chocolate lily alludes to the scent of the flowers which resembles chocolate, caramel or vanilla. The tubers, which are juicy and slightly bitter in taste, were eaten by Aborigines. Flowers are seen mainly from Springtime to early Summertime. Cache is located quite close to a sealed cycle track from Cousins Street through to the La Valla College on St Vincents Road. Stealth is paramount as the cycles arrive with little notice and you could easily be caught out. Hence the higher rating of difficulty. avoiding school times will give a less stressful time.
Cache is aTupperware container hidden in a way most geocachers will be familiar with. Please replace as found.(there is a letter +number on the lid, for a mystery cache to be published soon.)
Take care and enjoy our Junortoun bushland.
