A young inflorescence (flower spike) of the swamp Banksia, Banksia robur. It is less than 2cm tall surrounded by brown hairy bracts. When mature, the flower spikes may be up to 15cm tall.

The inflorescence consists of hundreds of small flowers arranged in pairs. The flowers change colour as they grow. A photo of an inflorescence in which the flowers are open is below.

As their name suggests they grow in swamps in the wild along the eastern Australian coast but they do well in gardens too.

Thank you for your visit. I appreciate faves and comments very much and I am grateful for invitations too.

Had some fun with my tripod in the new shuttle of Munich Airport, before being kicked out by security ;o)

I thought this rural B&W photo might be a fitting post considering our surging gasoline prices. I came across these two old farm tanks in a farmer’s field near Panora, Iowa, and photographed this scene with a Holga lens on a digital Canon camera,

I will still be mostly off for awhile. My wife’s surgery went fine, but she is still in the hospital recovering and will likely be transferred to a rehabilitation center within the next few days.

Down south

We’ve travelled down to Norwich, Norfolk.

Burnley play here tomorrow and kick off is at 12.30.

We’re going to be in the Director’s box for the game… a first for me.

I’ll be watching the game with my pal, Nic, whilst our wives go exploring around Norwich.

We’re staying in the Holiday Inn which is at the football stadium.

While on Caldey Island I was lucky enough to see this beautiful red squirrel hiding up in the trees. It was quite dark but I could hear him chirping at me to leave as I was too near to his feeding station so I knew he was up there somewhere! It's not the best focus but I was happy to get a shot as they are a rarity these days.
