The flowers are bright red, and attract nectar-feeding birds and insects. The flower spikes of this tree are made of several individual flowers. The name is apt as can bee seen from the bright red flowers which have the shape of a bottle brush. 
The tree grow only as big as 15 feet. They enhance the beauty of any garden. They grow superbly in the regions where the climate is warm, humid, and receive full sunlight. The flowers produces small woody fruit that contain numerous seeds. 
The fine leaves and the bright red inflorescence make this tree one of the beautiful trees that enhances the landscaping of any gardens or parks.

Beautiful! A few times over here I've seen a miniature version of this tree sold as an exotic house plant .. I imagine it is very hard to grow so far away from it's real home.
it looks like a decorated christmas tree!
Love that flower. I have bottle brush too but it is a different kind.
Magnificent flowering, nice images!
Hi Rajesh!
I love bottle brush plants. Here in our part of Florida they thrive and if not trimmed grow into substantial trees which are very pretty when in full color!
Love that plant! I had bought one two years ago but forgot it outside and the winter killed it!
Thanks for sharing such nice pics;o)
