I visited Australia yesterday, well, the Australia bit inside the glasshouse at the Botanical Gardens anyhow. I thought of my 365 Australia friends and I've posted this especially for you.

Very striking plant Sue, the name is perfect but a bit plain for such a beauty!

[Denise Wood]

Thanks Sue :) It's great to see other countries like our beautiful plants. Mine is about to flower soon so will return the favour of it in full bloom for you! And @happypat it has that name for an obvious reason, but it's "proper" name is callistemon :)

[Valerie Chesney]

Lovely, Sue, our re flowering profusely at the moment & the Lorikeets love them..

[Brennie B]

What a fabulous plant!

[Babs]

Lovely, all you need now is a rainbow lorikeet feeding on it.

[Nick]

Nice close up of the flower and leaves.

[Merrelyn]

I'm glad you enjoy our gorgeous natives, Sue :)

@happysnaps @onewing Thank you for your comments. All this talk of Lorikeets is encouraging me to put some more money in my 'Australia Fund' money box.

[Sue Cooper]

@gilbertwood @merrelyn Oh I love your plants. I just wish we had your birds too. I'll just have to come to Australia to see them.
