One of a number of shots of the crimson bottlebrush flowers that are in bloom all over the bay area at the moment. This one was outside my apartment.
The crimson bottlebrush, sometimes also called lemon bottlebrush because of its citrus aroma, is Callistemon citrinus. A native of Australia, but very common in the San Francisco bay area too it seems.
How do I get seeds or a starter plant.
Sorry, I have no idea where you’d get either. Check with local nurseries to see if they have them, or can get them for you, or try searching online. That’s about the best I can suggest.
In these days, you can find these plants at Home Depot or Low’s.
