Floral Emblems of Australia

I've been doing a bit of research on Australian floral emblems and we have quite a few interesting and beautiful ones representing different states.

NSW: 




SA:
Sturt's Desert Pea


WA:
Red and Green Kangaroo Paw


NT:
Sturt's Desert Rose


QLD:
Cooktown Orchid


TAS:
Bluegum

ACT:
Royal Bluebell

I was originally thinking of using the Waratah but I really like the looks of the Royal Bluebell. The five pointed flower really appeals to me and I think it has potential.

The fact that it's my home state's floral emblem doesn't hurt at all either :-)
