A crimson Bottlebrush, Callistemon, although I’m not entirely sure which one it is. Possibly Callistemon citrinus ‘Splendens’, but regardless many are flowering now and all are real head turners. Next, Star Jasmine or Summer Jasmine, as some prefer, Trachelospermum jasminoides, a climbing evergreen with a strong sweet jasmine like scent. Lastly the popular Coneflower, Echinacea purpurea, a tactile herbaceous perennial beginning to flower now.
