Welcome to "W" of the alphabetised month! If you have not seen or heard of the AtoZ challenge, click the logo on the sidebar to find out more! This blog is not about words, but about pictures telling the story. That said, for this month, there will be a few more than usual typed items and occasionally more than the usual one image per post.
The Waratah is the state flower of NSW - which I proudly call my home state. These are readily available as hybrids for gardens now - but to find one in the Wild is extra special. This one was deep in the Belanglo State Forest, just south of Sydney.
I live and learn. I didn't know that NSW had a state flower.
