Description
Candlestick Banksia: the candle-shaped forms of a banksia
Candlestick Banksia features the long, candle-like blooms that caught Helen’s attention. The painting is one of several banksia subjects in her collection.
Helen describes her enjoyment of these unusual flower shapes and the nectar-feeding birds they attract when in bloom.
In Helen’s words
“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.”
The tall flower spikes provide nectar for birds and small mammals. After flowering, the seed-bearing structure becomes woody, another of the banksia forms that Helen enjoys painting.
