Banksias
Location: Lake Macquarie, N.S.W. According to Australian National Botanic Gardens, there are 76 Banksia species. All but one occur naturally only in Australia, and were named after Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820), who, in 1770, was the first European to collect specimens of these plants.

WoW Carole! That is sch an amazing looking "flower". Never saw anything even similar to that. Hope your weekend was lovely! Jeanne
These strange plants are extraordinary to my eyes. This is the first Oz blog I have alighted on so I'll be back. Do come by mine sometime.
When I saw the thumbnail in Creative Exchange, I thought it was a photo of maize. Looks like it is more 'amaizing' than that!
wow, those are so COOL!!!
These are very unusual looking plants, love your pictures.
What an unusual plant Carole, and such gorgeous color in the last one here. This must have been fun to photograph!
Thank you so much for sharing at The Creative Exchange today.
Have a great evening!

Another one of the amazing flowers you have in Down Under. I saw these in Perth. Love them.
Looks like corn but the color is different of course. It's beautiful!

Wow, they are amazing.
What a fantastic plant!
Amazing shape to the blossoms! I wonder why that one species originated somewhere other than Australia...
I remember Banksias too! Oh, Carole, you all have ALL the good stuff!
Great shots of this native flower!
