This macro depicts the centre of a magnificent waratah flower.

The New South Wales waratah (Telopea speciosissima) is a large shrub in the Proteaceae family. The waratah is endemic to New South Wales in Australia and is the floral emblem of that state.

This is the rarer white-tipped variety.

Captured in spring at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, Australia.
