It's easy to own a piece of Australian floral symbology with 'The Feminine' print. The waratah flower is endemic to New South Wales and is the floral emblem of the state. Historically the flower features prominently in the folklore of aboriginal mythology. A tale from the Burragorang Valley tells of a beautiful maiden named Krubi, who wore a red cloak of rock wallaby adorned with the feathers of the gang-gang cockatoo. She fell in love with a young warrior who did not return from battle. Grief-stricken, she died, and up from the ground grew the first waratah. -- samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com -- #waratah #flower #symbolism #symbology #mythology #folklore #aboriginalart #aboriginal #aboriginalmythology #australian #australia #australianart #australianartist #nsw #floral #floralemblem #botanical #botanicalillustration #botany #endemic #burragorang #artprint #illustration #melbourneart #nature #natureart #natureartist
