Kathryn Potempski, Perfect in Red (June: Nature's Perfect Geometry)

Big and beautiful - the waratah is one of Australia’s most iconic flowers and is found on the southeastern parts of Australia. They produce bright red flowers - sometimes white, pink or yellow, and attract a wide variety of native birds. Once found in many areas of metropolitan Sydney, their survival is due to its existence in national parks. This stunning flower also happens to be the NSW state emblem.
