Autumn/Winter garden magic, another Friday at two samples of local native plants - treasure troves for local bird and insect species. The tall Banksia flowers were traditionally used by local people as sweet treats - they could be soaked in water, releasing the sweet nectar - a ‘local lemonade’ and providing instant energy. Great in a as they flower at this time of year when not much else is happening. The other ‘Native Fuchsia’ or Correa flower - pink/red tubular flower is also great food source for local Honeyeater bird species.
