Alexandramou:

Banksia species are very commonly grown here. They are extremely drought tolerant.

Thats a great shrub is it related to the Australian 'Bottle-Brush' or Callistemon Citrinus?

It resembles bottlebrush, however, it's not even closely related. It's in the Protea (Proteaceae) family. :>)

It has somewhat unusual flowers. Banksia species are a nice fall and winter flowering large shrub or tree.
