And why?

I like bottlebrush (Callistemon), they've got a funny shape and they attract a lot of nectar eaters so they're fun for critter watching. The yellow ones look like a corn cob too eheheheh.

Look at these eastern pygmy possums having a nibble. Probably weren't expecting to be interrupted mid-snack.

    If you're in the belly of the beast there's a brand called Brami that markets them as "lupini beans" and they're pretty good, if a bit pricey. Seems like the holdup (and the problem for those of us who'd be interested in growing them at home) is the processing required to get the gnarly stuff out.

      Oh shit! I think I've actually had these. They were air fried or baked, not too sure. Not the biggest fan, they had this flakey fibrous texture. They also sell jars at the supermarket too, and I must have overlooked them (going for the butter beans).

        I think they're pretty tasty pickled, haven't tried the air fried version though.
