While in the garden the other day I heard the New Holland group making an almighty row and I saw that they were aggressively driving a Little Wattlebird away from where they were feeding. There was one Pincushion Hakea in flower but the main nectar that they were defending was that of the correa pulchella. There are three species of Correa - also known as Native Fuchsia - here, all native to South Australia, and they are easily grown, undemanding and generous flowerers and a boon to insects and birds.
