You need a brush? Nature has the cutest ones.

Especially if we are talking about bottle cleaning ones:

Jokes aside, this thing is such a beauty. Once you see it as a bottle brush you cannot unsee it though:

And the "brush' part is not the only extraordinary thing about it:

This exotic beauty originates from Australia and its name (Callistemon) is pretty Greek actually (Καλλιστήμονας). This bush can grow up to 3-4 meters tall and the one I am picturing is close to its full potentials already. Now is the beginning of its bloom party period and on a sweet sunny day like today I couldn't miss the chance for some images:

I've never seen anything like that, but it's a beauty. Most likely it's not for our climate. Lovely.

It's kinda exotic for us too cause as I said it comes from down under but the central/south climate of Hellas is pretty OK for it so it proudly grows its brushes 🙂 What a piece of art!

If it grows there, that mans it's not too exotic. It is indeed a piece of art, by mother nature 🙂

They're not that common here even now that almost anything globalisable is globalised so it can still keep its "exoticness" in tact. Plus the copyright for the bottle cleaner 😂

😳😳 I haven't thought about that 😂

Love this plant! It always looks like a toilet brush to me! Hehe, lovely photos though.

Haha that's even more demeaning but it also kinda looks like that too. Cheers.

Awh, haha, sorry.
I love flowers! Not toilet brushes 😂
Thanks for letting me this amazing plant, I have heard stories of it on gardening shows

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it 🙂

it almost looks like a brush I have seen at home but the color is beautiful which is red

Their red is so fantastic indeed.

Amazing photography of nature. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked it.

Happy spring! That plant looks really astonishing. The beautiful tint of red is appealing also. 😀 I can't unsee the bottle brush now either. 😂 Nice post!
