Silk Bottlebrush Plants | Fake Bottlebrush Plants

Bottlebrush plants are Australian evergreen plants whose branches end in needled points resembling a brush that cleans bottles (hence, its name.) The most common of these plants are red bottle brush plants - known as crimson bottlebrush. Another name for this plant is the Callistemom. They are related to the myrtle plant, and their bright colors make them an attractive addition to any room. Since these plants are home to the Australian kookaburra bird, the plants are associated with laughter, joy and abundance. Some people in that region follow the custom of presenting one of these plants to the parents of a newborn to wish them happiness.
