Bottle-brush
Callistemon is endemic to Australia but has been exported around the world. Their flowers resemble a bottle brush in shape, hence the common name, bottle brush.
Like many native Australian flowers, the petals are less of a feature than the masses of stamen that make up the main part of the flower. The name Latin name Callistemon combines two words: ‘callis’ – meaning beauty in Greek, and ‘stemon’ – referring to the stamen.
This over-the-shoulder hobo style bag has a green lining, an internal pocket large enough for a phone, an internal loop to hook keys onto and six metal feet in a firm but flexible base. It is hard-wearing and hand-washable.
