but the unusual brilliant red flowers make up for it
Even though it is not a native British plant it attracts a lot of bees.
I wonder what bottle brush honey tastes like.
This coming Autumn I will try to cultivate some cuttings.

Red Bottle Brushes
The Callistemon (bottle brush plant) may be somewhat straggly in growth
but the unusual brilliant red flowers make up for it
Even though it is not a native British plant it attracts a lot of bees.
I wonder what bottle brush honey tastes like.
This coming Autumn I will try to cultivate some cuttings.

I have never seen this plant before John - it is lovely - I shall read up about it. Windy and cold here in North Yorkshire.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll give this plant a try, as I have seen it growing in gardens nearby.
ReplyDeleteYes, take some cuttings and get a swarm of bees. Oh, and a hive for them to live in.
