Description:
This is an impressive Banksia species with probably the largest flower spikes of any banksia I have ever seen. The largest were upwards of 30 cms in length, and that s pretty big for a banksia. It is a medium to large shrub that can reach 6 m (20 ft) high and wide. Flowering is in autumn, or in winter in cooler areas. The spikes are red or gold in overall colour, with styles golden, orange, orange-red or burgundy. Some unusual forms have striking red styles on a whitish perianth. Very occasionally, forms with all yellow inflorescences are seen.
Habitat:
Forest track at Mangrove Creek Dam, on the NSW Central Coast. Heavily forested area with native vegetation. Chiefly occurs in soils of sandy loam, deep sand, or sand over sandstone in well drained areas. These specimens in full-sun for most of the day. Distributed widely on the Central Coast, the Sydney region, Jervis Bay to the south, and up towards the Blue Mountains in the west.
The daily readings are taken from the lectionary which divides much of the Bible into three years worth of readings. If you complete the daily readings each day for three years, you will read 15 percent of the Old Testament and 71 percent of the New Testament.

Driving from Shawnee Peak, this sign not only caught my attention, it made me want to know more! Is this something that comes with a new kitchen or is it something that is needed after a remodeling project?
As covid hit and we all hunkered down inside our own homes for extended periods of time.well, we all wanted to remodel or move! Maybe Cabinetry Concepts has been super busy over the past year and has noticed that having just a portion of your home torn up (
we always go for the kitchen and bathroom!) is a pain in the ass.
