📕 BOTTLEBRUSH AND A BEE
An evergreen tree or shrub native to Australia, the bottlebrush is well known for its graceful, drooping branches ending in flowers with cheerful, bright red or yellow stamens, which form in tufted clusters that resemble a round brush.
🌿 They have that in common with their close relative, the paperbark tree Melaleucasp., which bears similar flower spikes.
🌿 Although most bottlebrush species are about 5 to 12 feet (1.5 to 3.7 meters) tall, some mature trees can reach more than 30 feet (9 meters) in height.
