Beefy Man-hand-sized cone-like flowers measuring the size of a man's hand from the wrist up to the tips of the fingers.

With more than 170 species of the Protea genus. Banksia is very diverse with many different colors and shapes. These Australian wildflowers are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads.

When it comes to size, banksias range from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall. They are generally found in a wide variety of landscapes, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts.

Tip: How To Make Snapdragons Stand Straight & Rigid in a Vase

Like many long stemmed flowers, Snapdragons at times grow all curvy. (Which sometimes is a fun look) There's a super simple trick to getting the stems to stand straight-as-a-board: 1. Clip off about two inches from the bottom of the stem and place in your vase of water. 2. Pinch off a nubbins from the top tip of the flower. (About a fourth inch.) 3. Let the stems soak in the water for a few hours. After that- you'll see how straight the stems become. It's magical! We sell flowers from our coolers that you can take home and arrange yourself. Stop by today to get some.
