What’s in the name, Gymea?

Gymea LilyWhen we first arrived on this property we walked the grounds with some friends to discover some mature 6m high Gymea Lilies.  Once we understood the significance of these incredible plants we knew that we had found our name sake.  Please find below extracts from Australian Bush Flower Essences that describe the significance of Gymea Lily (Doryanthes excelsa).

Gymea Lily allows a person to draw from its powerful energy and attain the strength to be who they are, and do what they have to do.  It enables them to achieve and fulfil their highest destiny, to find what gives them passion to do.

Birds of Gymea RetreatIf you are different from others in your views and beliefs or are very successful in your life, the Gymea Lily gives you strength to stay in that position and not be affected or pulled down by negative projections from those around you, or from those who may know of you.  Gymea Lily helps you to stay strong and focused on what you know you have to do with such single-minded purposefulness.

It is said that the Gymea Lily is also beneficial for those working with other people by helping to promote an environment that is the opposite of the ‘Tall Poppy Syndrome’.  We love the idea of a grove of “Tall Poppies”, where success is celebrated, nurtured, encourage and achieved by all.
