Telopea mongaensis (Monga waratah) in Monga National Park, Monga, NSW ... #Monga ;)

I really like this waratah as a garden plant but rarely see it available in nurseries. It is used in some modern hybrids to give the 'classic' NSW waratah (T. speciosissima) a bit more cold tolerance with a compact/bushy habit.

Hey, confused #waratah. It's winter next week. No bees will visit you. #bloomscrolling #florespondence #BlueMountains
Edit: OK they are pollinated by New Holland honeyeaters and antechinuses, but there still are no other waratahs nearby to cross-pollinate with!
