So pretty. I worked for a native revegetation company inbetween highschool and uni, and we go out into native bushland and collect seeds and pods. Banksias were some of my favourite to look at, but we'd be after the ones on the trees still. Got really sore arms using this elongated pruner thing to cut em off all day!

Can't believe how much they sell for online.
I just chuck them in the fire over winter.
Apparently they're very good for smoking meats and things too.
Looks like a rotisserie of lamb kebab meat.

Do they smell nice when they burn?
