Don't hold back Dave. Happy to see more of those. :)

I have a similar fixation with banksias (the genus is named for Sir Joseph Banks, who was the botanist on Cook's voyage which sailed up the east coast of Australia in 1770). These are Saw Banksias (B. serrata), taken with the DFA 100mm f2.8 macro WR.

Thanks Walt. You are a font of information. That was very helpful as I couldn't put a name on it.

It looks like your suspicion is correct. I found a work on weeds in Australia which says that the history of the introduction of teasel to Australia is not known but it could have been for commercial use as it was listed in an 1871 report as having commercial potential in the wool industry. The first Australian record was in South Australia in 1870. It is now fairly common in Tasmania, NSW and Victoria (where it is declared as a noxious weed: Wild Teasel - AgVic).

Thanks Ivan. I think my doubt was more metaphysical than botanical - is a dead flower a flower?

A wonderful sight in late spring, mostly in remote areas of East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. Taken some years ago with K100D Super and Tamron 18-250 (jpg OOC).
