Waratah, Floral Emblem of New South Wales

This shot of the Waratah, was my first ever photo to reach Flickr Explore, and represents a milestone for me and so is my choice for submission to the

7 Days of Shooting, Members Gallery theme for Traditional Thursday.

 

My apologies to those that may have already seen it, and commented this shot.

 

Telopea Speciosissima

 

In 1793 the English botanist, Sir James Smith, wrote in a publication "The most magnificent plant which the prolific soil of New Holland affords is, by common consent of Europeans and natives, the Waratah."
