banksia
Cone-bearing Australian shrub
Banksia is a genus of Australian shrubs and trees with distinctive cylindrical or dome-shaped flower spikes, often spectacular in color.
The woody seed pods open after fire, releasing seeds into freshly cleared ground.
Banksias are popular in gardens and floristry: The banksia cones made striking additions to the dried arrangement.
