Banksia Pod

Banksia pods are weird looking cones with little 'mouths' for seeds. Some of them have heaps of 'mouths' while others have almost none. This one was very popular with the lorikeets who love the seeds.

These curly banksia cones are growing in Kings Park were we had a nice walk last Sunday. One is showing the closed seed pods and the other is already opened up. It looks like the eyes, or the mouths, of the Simpsons ;)
