| I was just noticing the thickness of the leaves and how the leaves go along the stem. Maybe Leucadendron or Banksia or something along those lines. From my experience Pittosporum foliage doesn`t last too long out of water as it`s pretty soft and thin. Like the plant, though, in arrangements as fresh. |

| Yeah, I think it is the leaves of Banksia praemorsa. Why they have to dye like that? |

| Could be. The serration fits. Going through the Banksia in PF, Dryandra looks close. |

| Local grower says its leftovers of Banksia integrifloia; apparently they have a lot of wasted foliage when they harvest flowers, and to make some use of it. they dye it and sell it. |
