Hi All ,
Collected this little tree last year ,it was growing with several more interesting trees .I was curious to see if it would amount to anything, so it came home with me as well .Has been sitting in a corner and pretty much left to its own devices. To my surprise it has started to push out a beautiful yellow flower. Could end up a fair size. Hopefully some good folk might be able to I.D. it and any experiences with these. Thanks John.

Correct. I always remembered Isopogon because its common name is "Drumsticks".

Very pretty!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Thanks Starfox and K bonsai ,you are both on the money. 
Will have to watch to see if it is worth a try at bonsai or maybe just enjoy the flowers. Cheers John.

Definitely isopogon. I'm actually surprised you have been able to collect this. I've believed that isopogon are normally quite difficult to transplant.
Keeping it alive long term could be an issue though. In the garden they are quite prone to sudden death for no apparent reason. you have done well so far so
for further success. please document any work you do with this one because any info will be valuable.
