Conesticks

De nada ...

Gotta visit Australia. Soon. So many plants are seem familiar to us from North America. And yet, they're ... not, they're "just a jump to the left, and a step to the ri-ai-ai-ai-aight!"

Getting there. I found some info about Drumsticks and Conesticks. I think maybe this looks more like a Conestick ... but, then again, I'd never heard of Drumsticks or Conesticks until last week, so I'm no expert, eh? At any rate, here's the link, hope it helps: http://www.waratahsoftware.com.au/wp_flora_isopogon.html

Really interesting. Is the cone covered in fine, fine "hair" or does it just look that way in the photo? Do you know if it's an evergreen? Australia has some very unique and surprising plants ... thanks.
