Remember these?

When I was a little girl, we used to go to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains.
My Grandmother bought me a Mountain Devil, made with pipe cleaners and dressed in a tartan kilt.
These seed pods - dried and singular, were used as the head of the little devil dollie.
If you split the flower into segments, pull off the bottom and suck it, you get the nectar that the honeyeaters love so much. A bit of trivia and my childhood recollections for the day!
