Wikipedia:WikiProject Banksia/Sequences

This page is to aid in a little game Gnangarra and Hesperian are playing: the development of photographic sequences that illustrate the lifecycle of Banksia inflorescences. Anyone can play, of course. Add images where they are missing. Replace inferior images with better images. Start a new sequence.
