#Banksia serrata is excellent as a large potted plant. The rough stem, serrated bright green leaves and the huge flowering cones (smelling of butterscotch) that persist with large seed follicles.

Before and after... 🫣 Pruned back the #Banksia solandri after its annual stint as our Christmas tree. #ProteaceaeInPots #gardeningau

@dizzy Be fastidious with clean plastic pots if you're growing Western Australian #Banksia . They are very prone to phytopthora root rot. I soak used plastic pots in bleach solution. I also spray phosphoric acid on the foliage every 6 months or so (can get at hardware in pesticides section). Good luck! #ProteaceaeInPots

#Banksia serrata (old man banksia) with a massive grey cylinder of flowers about to start opening from the base upwards.

This is a good one to grow in a large pot. Being from the east coast of Australia it is more tolerant of a frequently moist growing medium. Broken pot from when it got blown over earlier this year.

#Banksia Blechnifolia #bloomscrolling #AustralianNative #Infloresence

From the ANSPA website:
Banksia blechnifolia is a nonlignotuberous prostrate plant with branchlets lying on the ground and erect leaves rising 25-45cm in length and 4-10cm wide with deep lobes. Flowering is generally in spring but may occur in late winter, blooms occurring at ground level on long lateral branches. The cylindrical spikes are up to 16 cm high, 7-8 cm wide and pale woolly orange in colour.

#BanksiaPraemorsa, commonly known as the cut-leaf banksia, is a species of shrub or tree; it’s a #Banksia.

It occurs in a few isolated populations on the south coast of Western Australia.

Grows well here in #Melbs and they’re displaying in abundance in gardens throughout our grand city atm, during mid-winter!

The woody spiked head is a greeny -yellow colour, on this one anyways.

Many I’ve noticed present in various colours; some rustic brown, others a deep red too. Just beautiful.

The detail of the rough, woody florettes are astounding.

#banksia marginata… also known as the #silverbanksia, is a woody shrub in the plant (a #Banksia) found throughout much of southeastern Australia.

The yellow inflorescences (flower spikes) bloom from late summer to early winter. The flower spikes fade to brown and then grey and develop woody follicles which drop seeds.

You can see this one, pictured in #Warburton #Australia - and the various inflorescence stages. Some are blooming beautifully, whilst others are almost at the seeding stage.

I was taken with this shrub… it was growing in a public reserve in the centre of town.

Just gorgeous!

#BanksiaSpinulosa, sometimes referred to the hairpin banksia, is a woody shrub, of the genus #Banksia in the family #Proteaceae.

It’s native to eastern Australia.

Widely distributed, it is usually found in open dry forest or heathland from Victoria to northern Queensland.

These are prolific producers of nectar. Banksias in general, are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. Birds, bats, rats, possums and bees rely on this wonderful food source.

These pictured are adorned with single flower spikes, say 1 centimetre long (1/2 inch) that generally contains hundreds of tightly packed spikes (flowers).

I felt the red one and the spiked section (I think it’s called an ‘axis’) is like a woody mass and the spikes are course and rigid. Not sharp.

I love the yellow ones. Just as much as the occasional red, on this group of shrubs.

The potted #Banksia serrata is finally flowering, as the stigmas start emerging from individual flowers at the bottom of the flowering cone (cylinder)?
