Scarlet banksia- Banksia coccinea

Banksia, commonly known as Australian honeysuckles, are a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. Heavy producers of nectar, banksias are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. The scarlet banksia's distribution in the wild is along the south west coast of Western Australia, from Denmark to the Stokes National Park, and north to the Stirling Range
