Re: I.D anyone
Can't help on the name, but is that the National Botanic Garden of Wales?

Re: I.D anyone
I'm guessing that was in The Great Glasshouse?
Banksia coccinea [I agree the ID Stan] is notorious in Australia for not growing on the east coast.
It hastes summer moisture either at the root or in the air and succumbs to Phytophthora.
If it is under cover that would explain the unexpected persistence of a 'bloom' of indumentum on the leaves that would have warn off in the open.
