Waratah

The Australians amongst us will know this flower. The NZers will think a waratah is a hard post used in fencing. We had one growing here when we bought the property 11 years ago and it gets better and better!
Thankful for:
I tried a new dance class - less effort than zumba etc and with 60's 70's 80's music. I had to leave after 15 mins - the music was far too loud!

Your photo of it is gorgeous! We have nothing like this in the states and I so enjoy seeing the pictures you post of it.

Good on you for starting a new dance class!

I liked Zumba when I tried it a good few years ago but doubt I could keep up with it now. The music is always too loud maggie!! I have seen these large showy flowers, beautiful.

@grammyn Not my idea of dance though, Katy - just moving from side to side waving arms etc.

@happypat I am reluctant to post continual pictures of flowers, Pat - but they are rather beautiful!
