Oh man, all my angst, & look what I spotted when I checked the mail. I actually have lots of these, Banksia Spinulosa (Hairpin Banksia), but few have such red hairpins. It was so lovely I had to share! Ain't it a beaut? 😁

No scent, but an important local wildlife food source. I'm on Darug/Gundungurra country (spellings vary), referred to here:
