This banksia tree grows on the footpath near my workplace and I walk under it every weekday. I love the look of the leaves from underneath as opposed to the dark green one usually sees topside. This speciment is banksia integrifolia.
These are the flowers in various stages.
I've come to appreciate the plant more as an adult. I was wary of it as a child no doubt thanks to May Gibbs and her "big bad Banksia Men".
