Description
“I just love the wild and wacky shapes of all the Banksia flowers and this one is no exception. Long and candle shaped they attract nectar eating birds in full bloom.”
This is a native of Western Australia found from Kalbarri National Park down to Cape Leeuwin and across to Fitzgerald River National Park. It is usually a tree reaching up to 10m (35ft) but can be a shrub in dryer areas. It has long narrow serrated leaves. Follicles develop and appear as bright yellow flower spikes held above the foliage from February to August. The smell of the open flowers has been likened to a peppery Shiraz wine. Seed development occurs from September to December, as these follicles swell while turning grey and woody. The flower spikes are pollinated by and provide food for a wide array of animals, including several species of honeyeater and the honey possum. It regenerates from bushfire by regrowing from its woody base. Plants may have a lifespan of 300 years.
