Callistemon teretifolius, Flinders Ranges Bottlebrush
A stamp issued by Australia in 1975 in a two stamp series.
I don't have a photo of this particular
Callistemon but on seeing the one and only photo I have of a
Callistemon I decided to post it here. From the date on the photo and consulting my diary I realized that I must have pinched a flower from the small tree growing in the backyard of the block of flats !
Callistemon in general is mentioned several times in THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN Today I am recommending that you read
