We saw the very same shrubs while in the Australian Blue Mountains… I have no idea what they are bit they reminded me of a cob of corn….
Yes, I agree with reminding of a cob of corn! 🙂
No idea – but am pretty sure they wouldn’t grow in Quebec!
You’ll never know. I am going to put the answer on my blog! It is an Australian native shrub or tree.
Hello, your picture is of the “Hairpin Banksia” or Banksia spinulosa if you are after the latin.
Thank you so much. I am going to put up the information! 🙂
I have no idea but they look very interesting.
I got the answer . They really look different. The name is “Hairpin Banksia” Looks like hairpins!
The Banksias are a wonderful selection of plants. I have many in my garden. You can not grow them from seed, unless you burn the cones first. Fire releases the seed from the cones. Fabulously structured flower. Did you photograph this one in New Zealand?
Interesting. Yes it grows in my friends garden in Kaitoki Loop just north of Upper Hutt
wow, I did not know it grew in New Zealand. She must have got it as an exotic species???
I’ll ask her when I see her again! 🙂
So there is the answer, Hairpin Banksia! They do look like corn on the cob, indeed! They are beautiful plants.
Yes, the hairpin is also a good description!
