Grevillea

Grevillea spp.
In the United States: Introduced · also called silky oak, silk oak

Honeybees are attracted to grevillea for abundant nectar during bloom, though they are typically inefficient pollinators of these bird-adapted flowers. Bloom timing varies widely by species and region — most cultivars flower heavily in spring. Well-drained soil is essential to avoid root rot; can spread outside its native range in subtropical climates.
