Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Banksia plagiocarpa From the Proteaceae Family. / Banksia...after Sir Joseph Banks. / plagiocarpa... From Greek plagios, oblique or sideways and carpos, a fruit, referring to the upturned lip on the open follicles of the fruit. Banksia plagiocarpa is a medium shrub to about 5 metres in height. It was originally collected in the 1860s but remained unnamed and was not collected again until rediscovered in the early 1980s. The leaves are about 100-200 mm long by up to 15 mm wide and are narrowly elliptical in shape with recurved margins which may be entire or serrated. Found in Far North Queensland – Regarded as rare in the wild. I found this Banksia at Sailor’s Creek, Cape North Peninsula, Far North Queensland. 100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of “Banksia Plagiocarpa” will be donated to “thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk” for the Cancer Council.

Grevillea may act as a catalyst for those who know what they want to achieve but may not know how to go about it. It promotes independence, self-sufficiency and boldness. Aboriginal use: Grevillea flowers were a traditional favourite among Aborigines for their sweet nectar. This could be shaken onto the hand to enjoy, or into a coolamon (dish) with a little water to make a sweet drink. They might be referred to as the original “bush lollies”. The flower heads were used for sweets and drinks but seeds were used for food as well. As grevilleas attract birds to nest in them, they were also a source of eggs and bird meat during early spring.

One track into Bushrangers’ Bay on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula runs high above a creek, through old banksia forests. If you walk it late in the day you can hear voices when there is no one around. A trick of the wind in the trees perhaps, or The People, its original inhabitants?
