火紅球帝王花/搖籃山/Waratah
回憶起某一年的夏天…Dolly和我從澳洲本島來到了塔斯旅遊，想當然爾 ，搖籃山當然是我們來塔斯的首要景點之一。
就在我們來到搖籃山登頂的途中，頓時就被眼前的不知名花給震懾住了。
當下不知道這種花的名字就覺得很漂亮，隨性的就拿起照相機拍了起來
後來Google了一下才知道這種花叫做火紅球帝王花，是新南威爾斯洲的洲花。由於是春天開花的種類，被當地人給稱之為給予力量、勇氣、治癒和心靈輔助的植物
由於澳洲本島是乾旱型大陸氣候，這種花在山區開起來格外的引人注目、亮麗顯眼
有鑑於它的獨特性，澳洲和紐西蘭用作地名、球隊名稱、鐵路船運等等稱號
生活在塔斯馬尼亞島上的居民，也很有榮幸的能夠與這種植物相伴
不僅如此，有一家廣告公司命它為主要的商標『KEEP TASSIE WILD』意味著在這一片綠色森林中，也可以找到您心中對於旅遊和自然的原始嚮往。
塔斯馬尼亞是一個在澳洲時間與空間凝結的角落
放慢你/妳的腳步，跟著我們一起在WILD島生活吧!
The Flora Of Tasmania
Waratah in Cradle
I remember one summer… Dolly and I traveled to Tasmania from mainland Australia, and naturally, Cradle Mountain was one of our must-see destinations.
On our way to the summit of Cradle Mountain, we were suddenly captivated by an unfamiliar flower in front of us.
At that moment, not knowing its name, we simply found it beautiful and casually snapped a photo.
Later, a quick Google search revealed that the flower was called the Fireball Protea, the state flower of New South Wales. It blooms in spring and is regarded by locals as a plant that provides strength, courage, healing, and spiritual support.
Given Australia’s arid mainland climate, this flower stands out as particularly striking and vibrant in the mountainous regions.
Due to its uniqueness, the Fireball Protea is often used in names for places, sports teams, railroads, and even shipping lines in both Australia and New Zealand.
The residents of Tasmania are fortunate to live alongside this remarkable plant.
In fact, an advertising company has even adopted it as their main logo, “KEEP TASSIE WILD,” symbolizing the deep connection between nature and the primal longing for exploration and authenticity found in Tasmania’s lush forests.
Tasmania is a corner of Australia where time and space seem to converge.
Slow down, and join us in living the wildlife on this island!
