This is the same bush the hummingbird shot was tak This is the same bush the hummingbird shot was taken at. It’s called “Spider Flower (Grevillea)”. 5ft bush to 20ft tree. Australian native plant. 
Fun fact: Grevillea flowers were a traditional favourite among Aborigines for their sweet nectar. This could be shaken onto the hand to enjoy, or with a little water to make a sweet drink. 
But best avoided now as some commonly cultivated grevillea species today produce flowers containing toxic cyanide(!).

Fun fact: Anna's hummingbirds can shake their bodies 55 times per second to shed rain while in flight, or in dry weather, to remove pollen or dirt from feathers. Each twist lasts four-hundredths of a second and applies 34 times the force of gravity on the bird's head.
