A species endemic to New South wales that flowers from August until December. Its name is Dracophyllum oceanicum. (Dracophyllum – Dragon leaf. Oceanicum – Distributed near ocean). Saw this for the first time at Sylvan Grove as it is distributed near south coastal areas of New South Wales where I have never been to. 

Stealing the nectar ? 

Probably in the eyes of a human. In fact it is a  symbiotic relationship. When the insect pollinates the flower, it takes some nectar and pollen along and creates this beautiful honey which we steal.  We are the ones that steal and give nothing in return. This flower is an Australian Buttercup  (Ranunculus lappaceus)  that is found in eastern Australia which is a perennial herb. Good addition to your native garden !
