need a bottlebrush, anyone?

No wonder this is called a bottlebrush plant! I found a blossom lying on the ground the other day and that's exactly what it looked like. The formal name for this plant is Callistemon. It is endemic to Australia, but grows very well here in Florida. We have a skinny, but tall weeping bottlebrush tree in our backyard that is flowering now and I just love it!
