Let's start growing some! I love the Banskias, they are so wild....like us!

Thanks for the wonderful tour! And thank you for getting all the names as well. That's the hard part when they aren't necessarily the stuff we can grow ourselves - even though it sounds like there are lots of good, potential contenders for our climate. Banksias always crack me up - the way the flowers grow, they look like corn ears, to me. I just love them!Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-9108851452217700392019-12-12T16:25:20.470-08:002019-12-12T16:25:20.470-08:00Thank you, Kris!
