Banksia undata
The prickly leaves of this shrub call to mind a holly, but the yellow flower clusters show that it belongs in the Protea Family, and in the genus Banksia. It is one of a large number of banksias that were formerly placed in the genus Dryandra, and it was then called Dryandra praemorsa. But all of the Dryandra species have been put into Banksia, greatly enlarging that genus. Banksia undata is a large shrub that can reach a height of up to 10 feet (3 m), and it comes from near the southwestern corner of Australia.

Tulipa (tulip)
I've seen tulips blooming all over town for weeks now but somehow the ones that grow in your own garden are special.

This is my favorite dwarf pear tree, and it’s flowering. I decided to take the evening shot because there’s going to be a frost. I’m not going to cover the tree just because it could probably use a year off from production. So I figure if it frosts, it’s just a way to give it rest. I wanted to get a shot just in case the flowers drop.
