Alistair, can you name an indonesian plants' name ? but according to Metrosideros, the plants that i encounter here almost the same as in Hawaii, so i think maybe the north part of Australia's plant is also very similar with us here...

Metrosideros, ref. to this link, http://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdisplay.asp?pl...
this plant is : Pedilanthus bracteatus

The Pedilanthus bracteatus plants I saw in Maui are shown here:

Maybe the blooms appear to be large due to the camera angle.
