Sounds like a Callistemon, or the "Bottle Brush Plant" as correctly pointed out be Dazzle. They do come in slightly different sized flowers and flower colours too.





Hope that helps. They aren't that hardy here though if you have cold wet soil. Relatively easy to grow though otherwise and well worth giving it a go. Just remember that in Aus' it grows in hot dry conditions in full sun.

Reply:Sounds to me as it is what they call the bottle brush plant -- that is the common name for it.
