Banksias

There were lots of banksia trees along the walks that we did while we away. I noticed that there were different types, and the buds of the flowers were all slightly different. As I suspected there are lots of different types as I discovered here. There are different colours,

and differnt shapes.

Though I think they all dry off to form the "Big Bad Banksia Men" that are mentioned in MayGibb's "Snugglepot and Cuddlepie" series.
