Pollen+morphology

Pollen of the bottlebrush is found at the tips of the brightly coloured, red filaments (i.e. the anthers). They often form quite a dense layer over the bottlebrush inflorescence during the flowering periods which is mainly spring for most individuals, however this plant has been known to flower sporadically during summer through to autumn if there is adequate amount of water available.
