A little dedication to 3 members - CINDY with thanks for her "Why Flowers?" posting, JACQUELINE with thanks for the inspiration from her beautiful Banksia picture which sent me out to shoot this Aussie immigrant in my garden, and PHIL, because it is 'different' and is definitely not a rose:)

*You will have noticed that I haven't been commenting as much on your fine images!..This is because of the pains in my hands!..the constant use of the keyboard, makes this difficult..so, my dear friends..I can only apologise to you all in advance!*

Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
I was just looking at the link that Jacqueline had provided with her pic of this most unusual plant and it's amazing how small an area supports this. Nicely done, as always, and the people to whom it's dedicated certainly deserve the recognition :)

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Lyn, never too old to learn as I can't remember that I ever saw a 'banksia'. Strange but beautiful plant/flower (?) to me. Will search for additional info as your image made me curious. Regards, Cornelius

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
Your Banksia looks definitely better than the other one and the ones in Wikipedia. Yours looks as though the Maori family has carefullyweaved and knotted it together! :) It looks beautiful and so symmetrical.

I blushingly acknowledge your kind dedication with much thanks and say WOW, that is really an amazing plant! I love the colors and the details and contrasts in the image are sensational. Don't laugh, but somehow it reminds me of velcro. Now I'm going to the link you graciously provided. Thanks, Eve! You really are very sweet you know!~~~
I'm back, smiling over Jacqueline's title! lol

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Very odd flower! Looks like it's very large but it's hard to tell scale in this shot. Thanks for sharing this one Lyn!

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth.

Never seen this before. Only the dried out nut that the dried out nut uses to make sticks.
