Two Worlds


WINNER OF A CHALLENGE IN THE GROUP:Proteas, Leucadendron, Leucospermum, Orothamnus & Serruria
FEATURED IN THE GROUP: Proteas, Leucadendron, Leucospermum, Orothamnus & Serruria

The Protea on the left in the front of this capture is the Waratah from Australia and the Protea right to the back (in soft focus) is the King Protea of South Africa. As I have priviously stated Australia can claim the Waratah as their own proteacae. This is why I call this capture Two Worlds
Information on the Waratah:
Waratah (Telopea) is a genus of five species of large shrubs or small trees in the Proteaceae, native to the southeastern parts of Australia (New South Wales and Victoria) and Tasmania.
The generic name Telopea is derived from the Greek ‘telopos’, meaning ‘seen from afar’, and refers to the great distance from which the crimson flowers are discernible. The specific name speciosissima is the superlative of the Latin adjective ‘speciosus’, meaning ‘beautiful’ or ‘handsome’. ‘Waratah’, the Aboriginal name for the species, was adopted by early settlers at Port Jackson.
Camera: Canon 400D
Lens: Canon Macro 100mm
