I found this bush in one of our mall areas here, and I like the red brush-like flowers, does anyone know what this is? Nice to see it in bloom during winter.

Looks like maybe Little John bottlebrush...is it a short shrub?
edited to add....callistemon citrinus

Looks like a variety of dwarf bottlebrush, 'Callistemon viminalis'. Possibly 'Little John as Sherry said.

Citrinus? Viminalis? I don't know.....

Hmmmm .... Ok now you've gone and confused me. It seems 'Little John' is listed as both species.

lol...that's why I'm confused.....

Thanks for the ID ..it seems to look like Callistemon viminalis - Dwarf Bottlebrush 'Little John' and also as Callistemon citrinus. But leaning more towards Callistemon citrinus since I found it in a parking lot, I saw a write up saying it is used commonly in median islands.

Thanks everyone!

Definitely Callistemon but I'm not sure which one. If you get a correct identification I hope you will add photo's to the Plant Database:

This doesn't necessarily help with the ID of Tarev's, but maybe a little on the identity of the cultivar 'Little John'. I contacted the Australian Native Plants Society and this is what they said "It's more related to C.viminalis than C.citrinus but it's probably not a pure form of C.viminalis either. Most references that I've consulted consider it to be of hybrid origin with C.viminalis as one parent. I don't think anyone is really sure of what other species might be involved in the parentage."

lol...sounds much the same as what I run into with salvias quite often.....
