The Banksia flowers are really iconic. I have always been fascinated with the shape of the seed pods as well. Interesting that this one doesn't need fire to propagate. Very informative video Karen👍

[@LifeintheBush]

I agree, they are fascinating :) Thank you. Many years ago I worked in a native nursery in Victoria and we would put banksia cones in the oven to release the seed :)

Have this on my street, tried making a tea out of it, didn’t taste good sadly😢

[@LifeintheBush]

Oh, how interesting. Often banksia flowers can be used to make a sweet drink but I'm not sure about tea. I bet the birds love the tree on your street. 🙂
