On Patrol

A few days ago I observed that the spent seed pods of the banksias don't seen to fall off.... ever.

Perhaps this photo serves to prove my hypothesis.   When the flowers are new (and the pods) they are above the leaf level, now the leaves have over run them, leaving them in a shaded understory.

I'm not sure what all that means to the tree, the ecosystem or whatever, but one day this photo will remind me to find out.
