, commonly known as the cut-leaf banksia, is a species of shrub or tree; it’s a .

It occurs in a few isolated populations on the south coast of Western Australia.

Grows well here in and they’re displaying in abundance in gardens throughout our grand city atm, during mid-winter!

The woody spiked head is a greeny -yellow colour, on this one anyways.

Many I’ve noticed present in various colours; some rustic brown, others a deep red too. Just beautiful.

The detail of the rough, woody florettes are astounding.

marginata… also known as the , is a woody shrub in the plant (a ) found throughout much of southeastern Australia.

The yellow inflorescences (flower spikes) bloom from late summer to early winter. The flower spikes fade to brown and then grey and develop woody follicles which drop seeds.

You can see this one, pictured in - and the various inflorescence stages. Some are blooming beautifully, whilst others are almost at the seeding stage.

I was taken with this shrub… it was growing in a public reserve in the centre of town.

Just gorgeous!

Popped into the garden at the Australian Botanic Gardens whilst in Canberra last week. It's a must see for fanciers. Banksia menziesii, B. spinulosa, B. epica and B. brownii

, sometimes referred to the hairpin banksia, is a woody shrub, of the genus in the family .

It’s native to eastern Australia.

Widely distributed, it is usually found in open dry forest or heathland from Victoria to northern Queensland.

These are prolific producers of nectar. Banksias in general, are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. Birds, bats, rats, possums and bees rely on this wonderful food source.

These pictured are adorned with single flower spikes, say 1 centimetre long (1/2 inch) that generally contains hundreds of tightly packed spikes (flowers).

I felt the red one and the spiked section (I think it’s called an ‘axis’) is like a woody mass and the spikes are course and rigid. Not sharp.

I love the yellow ones. Just as much as the occasional red, on this group of shrubs.
