Day 165
June 14, 2010We have been out searching the garden centres for new plants for the front garden.
The bottle brush plant is familiar to us from our Australian travels. We didn’t buy one.
Callistemon species are endemic to Australia; 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.
