We have been killing them off for years (about 20y) fortunately none live near us, but heaps of other places have a big problem with them.
There is even a place locally known as valley af the lillies...down
at Prev.
I too don't like them.

This year they put in some extra restrictions on translocating these lillies in WA.

They are a noxious weed but very pretty.

(Shame we don't export the sodding things to countries where it is not a problem. Maybe on a small business scale.)

Money to be made from clearing up farm infestations?

24 hours to get them to flower markets in London for example, ... they would be off season and would command a good price.

Or too hard and too expensive to export?

Are those the white flower with yellow stamen? If so there was a spate of people manufacturing an hallucinogen from them (very nasty stuff some people did not recover)

They're the ones gnash, flowers are poisonous to humans. so makes sense at what you say, we have them in our yard but I think we will get rid of the lot know, but they do look nice
