I'm from Texas, I live in Costa Rica. Straight succulent and cactus fiend. I also like discovering wild edible and medicinal plants.

Anybody know what this is? Seen in the Central Valley of Costa Rica though I doubt it's native. Thank you @misternatureboy for the ID, looks solid. #notmyplant

Beautiful! They look like the Australian natives Protea family. Not sure which leaf is for it, but don't think🤔 either are correct. 🕵️

I don't know, I actually didn't think to touch it,which is strange because because I touch and taste things I probably shouldn't, like the child I am inside. Looks soft. @HollynTexas

@lovestogarden Regarding your comment, I just learned that this Banksia is in the family Proteaceae, so you aren't wrong 😊
