Interesting flower, and one that I have never seen. I would be tempted to plant it in my garden, if it weren't potentially an invasive exotic -- always a possibility here in Florida to be weary of. I was marveling at the melaleuca on my ride up to Ft Myers Florida -- we still have vast forests of them, although we cut them all down in the preserve where I work.

That is so beautiful to me and so unusual. Love blogging, you get to see the neatest things. Thanks for the great photo!
I bet it looks like corn on the cob from far away! :)

That is so qute! Look like a advanced brush! But too pretty to use!
What a sophisticated bottle brush. No seriously it's very interesting. It looks cuddly in a way. I feel an urge to stroke it.
I have seen banksia flowers a couple of times, but I still wonder at the shape and colour of them!! Wonderful!!
This is a unusual flower.I like it.
Thanks for posting to TODAY'S FLOWERS.
Nice shot, I love them whenthe buds are just unfurling.
This flower with the strange shape.
But very beautiful!
