State Floral Emblems

Each state and territory in Australia, and the nation, has selected an endemic Australian native flower as its emblem:

Australia

Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha)

ACT

Royal Bluebell (Wahlenbergia gloriosa)

New South Wales

Waratah (Telopea speciosissima)

Northern Territory

Sturt’s Desert Rose (Gossipium sturtianum)

Queensland

Cooktown Orchid (Dendrobium phalaenopsis)

South Australia

Sturt’s Desert Pea (Swainsonia formosa)

Tasmania

Tasmanian Bluegum (Eucalyptus globulus)

Victoria

Common Heath (Epacris impressa)

Western Australia

Red & Green Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos manglesii)


Only two state emblems can be easily found as cut flowers: the Waratah (NSW) and the Red and Green Kangaroo Paw from WA. The national floral emblem Acacia pycnantha can sometimes be found as a ‘flowering foliage’ crop in spring.
