Tasmanian Waratah

The Tasmanian waratah Telopea truncata is one of the five members of the Telopea genus, each endemic to different regions of Australia, and a member of the Proteaceae family. The plant was first described botanically by the French botanist Jacques Labillardière in 1805. These waratahs grow as small trees: see the inset note at top right. This one was flowering alongside the road in western Tasmania as we drove past (and very promptly stopped for photos).

o0o I have never seen anything quite like these before,
the colour is so lovely and as I look at them I almost
expect them to move like sea anenomies do ... not
sure I have spelt that correctly (doing it from memory)
but from your note at the side, it is quite large, well taken
indeed ... I would have wanted to have stopped and
looked more closely also oOo
