Thanks to the generosity of gillpolack I am now the proud possessor of a Banksia pod and some very striking views of Sydney harbour.



Isn't it pretty? In the spirit of the great Sir Joseph's Linnaean endeavours, I think I can safely say that it's is a close relative of the hedgehog, though this one thankfully is free of fleas.

Thanks, gillpolack - I'm very grateful.

It _does_ look remarkably like a curly coated hedgehog! :o)

I'm so glad it arrived safely. It comes from very close to where your ancestor set foot on our soil, and so is probably a descendant of the banksias he saw (which you know already, but I am in the mood for repetition).

This is what happens when your banksia hedgehog evolves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Banksia_man.png

So that's what Banksy looks like!

And why he doesn't want to be seen.
