Who loves Old Man Banksia?
These unusual small trees, native to Australia, flower on cones that remain on the tree as they age: unless birds intervene..
I’ve seen several species of birds that have been attracted by the large flowers. In this photo, one can just catch a glimpse of a Rainbow Lorikeet resting behind one.
Officially known as Bankia serrata, these natives flower from December until March each year.
