Lovely. I've never seen banksia before. Are they soft or prickly? Look a bit prickly to me.

FireflyPhotosAust In reply to PondDreamer [2009-11-18 18:06:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you April

They are probably in between. They are definitely harder then a bottlebrush but I wouldn't call them [rickly.

Yes but it's still rather tragic. I guess I'm used to more complexity in desserts, rather than rice bubbles coated with yumminess.
