    The description page gives the average diameter as being 5". I wonder if that can be correct? A French reference says the diameter is 2.5cm, which is just under 1".

    It would seem a "." was missed when entering the bloom size. ".5" " rather than 5".

    I wondered if that could be what happened, but it's been a little while since I saw a Banksia bloom up close, so couldn't remember if the blooms were that small.

    I was pretty sure 5" was much too big, though!

    Thanks,
