Life stages of a hairpin banksia video transcript

Video transcript

Here we have one of our native Australian plants, the hairpin banksia.

It grows from a single seed and once it's mature it grows beautiful candlestick shaped flowers.

These flowers attract many pollinators like bees, butterflies, birds and even possums.

Once the flower is fertilised by pollen they'll develop seeds.

Here we have a mature flower that has actually created some seeds ready to fall back into the bush and grow into new trees.
