Banksia tree flower.

These pics are a series of the life & decline of a flower from the Banksia tree. It’s a native to Australia, quite wide spread around the country, blooms like this each year.
Starts off with the prickly exterior which falls off gradually, revealing the softer flower. It all deteriorates to leave the hard core which dries up & falls off. They grow mainly on Sandy soil, as in most Australian plants. The country is mostly Sandy.

These are great shots!
I found some planted in front of a doctors office in California a few years ago. My photos are not even close to the quality of yours!
The "hard core" is carved sometimes, apparently.
When I was in Australia a few years ago, I bought one, and forgot about it in my luggage.
Going through customs in New Zealand it was found, and they were going to fine me $400! Fortunately, when they examined it, they didn't find any seeds inside it, so they let me off with a stern warning!!
