It's one of the grevillea species Kathleen, there are so many cultivars but it looks like Honey Gem. Filled with nectar, dripping some mornings, they attract birds by the dozen and flower all year round with peak seasons producing more flowering and also after good rains. Native to Australia. The largest is the Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta) a large tree with golden flowers. Hardy plant.
