Tree with huge bizarre flower heads
Woolly banksia has the largest flowerhead of any Banksia species, with up to 1000 flowers on each. The flower spike transforms into a tough cone that needs the intense heat of a forest fire to release its seed.
Look for it in the Australian zone of the Great Glasshouse
