Waratah is an Australian flower remedy made from the very speciosissima Telopea. It gives courage to react to the crisis and is useful in case of painful events that lead to despair. Let’s find out better.
Description of the plant
Telopea speciosissima– It is a shrub of 3 or 4 meters in height, the Waratah grows exclusively in Australia and only in the eastern states, while the genus Telopea speciosissima is the most common species and is widespread in New South Wales.
A large fire red flower with a diameter of about 12 centimeters, formed by many single flowers gathered tightly in a single rounded inflorescence, surrounded by a crown of red and shiny leaves, similar to petals to protect and contain the flower in a compact way. Commonly known as the Waratah of New South Wales, or simply Waratah, it has been that state’s floral emblem since 1962.
The word waratah for the Aborigines means beautiful. The term telopea means seen from afar, with reference to the royal aspect and the height of the plant that makes it stand out on the whole, while speciosissima means beautiful. It is considered one of the strongest remedies of the Australian Bush Flowers and nicknamed ‘the flower of survival’ due to its great energetic strength.
The flower is very common in Aboriginal folklore and legends. In the Aboriginal tribe of Tharawal, in the Cronulla region south of Sydney, Waratah was used as a medicine for its invigorating effect and to treat diseases of children and the elderly.
It is also the logo of the Australian Bush Flowers line .
