Macro photo of beautiful Bottlebrush flower - a feel of Australia Bottlebrush (Callistemon, pronounced /ˌkælɨˈstiːmən/) is a genus of 34 species of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae. The majority of Callistemon species are endemic to Australia; four species are also found in New Caledonia. They are commonly referred to as bottlebrushes because of their cylindrical, brush like flowers resembling a traditional bottle brush. They are found in the more temperate regions of Australia, mostly along the east coast and south-west, and typically favour moist conditions so when planted in gardens thrive on regular watering. However, at least some of the species are drought-resistant. (sourced: wikipedia/callistemon)
