Banksia Speciosa

Description

A showy member of the Proteaceae family with pale green jagged, saw-tooth leaves and a large single bottlebrush bloom in pale green with tiny yellow flowers. Banksia are native to Southern Australia and are often used for dramatic effect in architectural settings and in florist arrangements or even on film sets such as Star Trek. Banksia Speciosa has a long vase life of two weeks or more and holds up wonderfully as a dried flower.
