Hairpin Banksia


Banksia spinulosa var cunninghamii

The local environment group planted this Banksia about four years ago and it has already flowered. The site was tough - hard ground facing west and there was drought.
The natives grew up and made their own more hospitable environment. today the area is shady and flourishing.
