The Waratah is an amazing piece of nature and its complexity makes it the appropriate state flower for New South Wales in Australia.

I took this shot back in January 2006 when my family and my two sister in laws and their families hired a house down at Waratah North near Wilsons Promontory. I took this shot in a farmers paddock across the road from our house after doing the dishes. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

One of the most beautiful of all species endemic to Tasmania, the waratah blooms around early spring. These majestic flowers can be found all over the state, but especially throughout the west coast region. We have a nearby township named after these magnificent blooms, appropriately called “Waratah”. Any person visiting Tasmania during the flowering season would find the roadsides around this town alive with wild waratah blooms flowering on shrubs up to around 20 feet high. I love these flowers, and I love taking photo’s of them. This one was shot in a garden at our local hospital. Once the vignetting filter was added, I managed to even impress myself with the way this shot turned out. /

The title is Spanish and translates to To Be Alive / That’s the feeling I got when I was shooting this Waratah. This is the first of three and the series will also show a progression in the flowers life cycle. / These were shot in natural light, outdoors and a Saturation level of 5 (clicks) was added in post processing to show the vibrancy of the red; it was washed out by the glare of the sun. Waratah / Telopea speciosissima, commonly known as the New South Wales Waratah or simply Waratah, is a large shrub in the Proteaceae family. It is endemic to New South Wales in Australia and is the floral emblem of that state. It is renowned for its striking large crimson inflorescences (flowerheads) in spring, each made up of hundreds of individual flowers.The New South Wales Waratah is a large erect shrub up to 3 or 4 metres (10-13 ft) in height with one or more stems. It has dark-green leaves which are alternate, usually coarsely-toothed and range from 13 to 25 cm (5-10 in) in length. The inflorescences, which appear in spring, are large and crimson coloured. They consist of a 7-10 cm (3-4 in) diameter domed flowerhead ringed by bracts which are 5 to 7 cm (2-3 in) long. These are followed by large seed pods which eventually turn brown and split open revealing winged seeds inside. / The species is found on the Central Coast, South Coast and nearby ranges in New South Wales. It usually occurs as an understorey shrub in open forest on sandy soils in areas with moderately high rainfall. / The New South Wales Waratah was first described by botanist James Edward Smith in his 1793 A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland, from “very fine dried specimens sent by Mr. White”. He gave the species its original binomial name of Embothrium speciosissimum. It was given its current name of Telopea speciosissima by botanist Robert Brown in 1810. / The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word speciosus meaning ‘beautiful’ or ‘handsome’. The common name of waratah was first applied to this species before being generalised to other members of the genus Telopea and, to a lesser extent, Alloxylon. It is derived from the Eora Aboriginal people, the original inhabitants of the Sydney area. / Although they grow naturally on deep sandy soils, the species has proved adaptable to other deep, well-drained soils, especially where natural slopes assist drainage. Despite their natural occurrence in woodland, waratahs flower best in full sun. / They are a popular cut flower and are grown commercially in Australia north of Sydney and in the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne. They are also grown commercially in New Zealand, Hawaii and Israel. from: Wikipedia
