There are many banksias here with different flowers. They are all beautiful and intriguing. @borof

I'm not sure what variety this one is, just Banksia sp. @ludwigsdiana

What an unusual plant! What country are you in, as this looks very alien to me!

[Suzanne]

I am sure the early explorers and colonists also thought these plants looked alien when they came across them in Australia! There are many Banksia species here (family Proteaceae, Genus Banksia). As you might guess from the name, they were first collected by Joseph Banks on Cook's first voyage to the Pacific.
