I am not much into natives but I inherited with the house a red flowering
callistemon and I think it is "Dawson River" from what I saw at my local
nursery. It is giving a lovely show at my mailbox and hopefully will
continue to if I keep it lightly pruned so it doesn't get that neglected
leggy native plant look that you see so much around Perth.
Thanks for the web link .... helpful

No problem. Remember that the bottlebrush comes in all sizes and
colours. Something for everyone.

Bemoaning the heavy weather predicted for Perth this weekend as it limits
planned gardening projects.

Actually both Saturday and Sunday will be good for gardening, with only
a show or two forecast.

Besides, the rain is *really* needed.
