Neutral palmbob On Mar 20, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Shrubby plant with bottle-brush flowers (most varieties have red flowers, but cultivars can vary). From W Australia. Leaves very thin and like soft, blue-green needles. In winter plant is not much to look at, but flowers most of the rest of the year.
