Melaleuca viminalis

Melaleuca viminalis, also referred to as Callistemon viminalis in Australia and commonly known as weeping bottlebrush, creek bottlebrush or drooping bottlebrush, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, and is endemic to eastern Australia but naturalised in other states and introduced to some other countries. It is a multi-trunked, large shrub or tree with hard bark, often pendulous foliage and large numbers of bright red bottlebrush flowers in spring and summer. It is one of the most commonly cultivated of the bottlebrushes, and its cultivars are often grown in many countries.
