Cas This probably doesn't apply to your six year old plant but last month I suddenly lost one of Mark Ross's grafted Brownii banksia's. It was 1 year old....
I have just loaded up a couple of shots of B. Birthday Candles in the photo section. one has BC and Schnappers Point side by side its obvious the size...
I have posted a photo of a B. 'Birthday Candles' in Photos under 'More Birthday Candles'. I took this picture in April at my Mum's, in the inner north eastern ...
Hello Steve Sorry about my very tardy response. Like you, I used to think like most people that plant selection was all about purchasing those plants with the...
Hi Steve, you mention 'Waite Flame' in another e-mail, you mean a B. coccinea with this if I'm not mistaken and suggest it's from Proteaflora. I checked their...
Hi, Yes I checked the proteaflora website and found it wasn't there either. But I think I remember this one being released before, maybe they are very small...
Hi Antony, many thanks for the prompt answer. I checked several other websites and there I found Waite Flame was marketed by Proteaflora indeed so I'll give it...
No problems Ian, Thanks for the link to Wally's Wattle, I'm relieved size wise it will fit in perfectly!! As for any garden choice, it's rather difficult. I...
Hello Steve Thanks for your interesting message. Yes, in gardening as in most other human activities everyone has a different opinion. As you note, one of the...
U know which plant the honey eaters actually really love, the flowers of Aloe plants. We have a couple different species and when they are in flower they go...
Hello Antony I am not really sure what your point is. Yes, some of the fairly ubiquitous honeyeaters, like the little and red wattlebirds, are quite...
Hi, No need to be rude? "I am not sure what your point is" Just was saying in regard to some of the foreign species seem to also attract the honeyeaters as...
Re : Waite Flame Dear Antony We no longer sell this variety. The rights to this plant are owned by the University of Adelaide. I do not know whether it is...

Antony Hi and thanks, you've confirmed why I haven't been able to get these plants recently. Was hoping to get another two or three of these fine plants. ...
Dear Anthony, There is a nursery propagating 'Waite Flame' but I'm not sure if they have any available as yet. It is Brenton Tucker Native Plants at...
Thanks for that info Anthony, Great to see the plant still being propagated, however I hope they strike some arrangement with a larger distributor, so that...
No, it and Waite crimson are not particularly unusual Banksia coccineas. All coccineas are tricky to grow over east. If you are in a sandy area like the ...
Hi, I've got a number of coccineas growing in pots and they're doing surprisingly well. Not a bit more difficult than other B's. They're from Banksia Farm...
I don't know whether it's just a co-incidence, but I've found Proteaflora plants as a whole very reliable indeed. I'm having great success also with B...
Hi, In WA when I saw them in the wild, even there some were dying, probably from the cinnamin fungus brought in by people. But I think the plant itself is...
We haven't grown Waite Flame but have grown B Coccinea and Waite Crimson (Flame just being a cultivar of coccineas. We had 80 Waite Crimsons and 400 Coccineas...
Craig, how different would you say the Waite variety is from the 'normal' coccinea? Cas ... From: banksias@yahoogroups.com [mailto:banksias@yahoogroups.com] On...
Hi Steve, if you check the Proteaflora website you will see one Banksia there: Birthday Candles! Liesbeth ... From: Steve Bromley To: banksias@yahoogroups.com ...
I agree with you Cas. I don't believe the 'Waite Flame' and 'Waite Crimson' are any tougher than the 'standard' B. coccineas. I had a couple of each in my...
I am sure there have been laods of attempts as just about every nursery will have stocked a B coccinea or two from time to time that Ihave seen, just never...
