I was pretty sure it was a Saw-tooth banksia (Banksia serrata), but it's hard to tell sometimes from close-ups what the over-all structure of the plant is. We planted ours less than a year ago and it's really taken off. Unfortunately our Yellow-tailed black cockatoos really love them and one day soon it will be torn to shreds by an enthusiastic Yellow-tailed. They plant will grow back, and the cycle will continue.
