Bottle brushes (Callistemon spp.) are among the hardiest of Australian native plants. They are long lived, require minimal maintenance and are almost impossible to kill. The flowers attract native birds, especially honey eaters, and reward the gardener with extraordinary amounts of colour. The original bottlebrushes available to gardeners were all bold red but flower colours now range from red to pink, mauve, cream and green. (Burke's Backyard>Fact Sheet)

Beautiful shots of a lovely plant.
It is a beautiful plant, eden! I love the color. I like that native plants are given to the residents, that is a great idea.

Hi Eden -- that's a nice picture of a plant I see here (as a houseplant). Did not know it was native to your country. Thank you for the lovely picture and for the history. (The name is certainly appropriate, isn't it?)
I can see how they got their name. This is an interesting flower. Great photo. Thanks for sharing.
