Waratahs are a protected species of flowering plant that grow on trees or large shrubs and are native to Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. The most well-known flower in the species has densely packed, bright red coloured spirals that curl in a dome at the head.

Did you know?

- The name waratah is taken from the Eora people, the original inhabitants of Sydney. It roughly translates to 'red flowering tree' and is the emblem for New South Wales

- Each waratah bloom is actually several flowers (from 10-250) resulting in a 6-15cm wide flower

- Waratahs are highly resilient to changes in habitat and can regenerate below the ground if there are any disruptions to the soil, such as from fire.
