hardy bottlebrush
i tried looking this plant up in the database and couldn't find it. is there another name?
moretz, I picked up a Sanguisorba obtusa a couple of months ago. The nursery lady called it a hardy bottle brush. It's not the same bottle brush that most people are familiar with but it is hardy to zone 4 and the blossoms are similar.
It' looks shrub like to me and mine has not bloomed yet. It's a young plant and not ready to propigate yet and to be honest with you, I'm not sure how to propigate it at this point.
Here's the PDB link to the plant that I'm talking about:

here is what i am looking for moretz
http://www.sfasu.edu/ag/arboretum/plants/callistemoncitrinusvarlinearis/Default.htm
The URL on that image says Callistemon citrinus - we have four Callistemon species in the PDB, including this one: http://plantsdatabase.com/search.php?search_text=callistemon
Hope that helps!
that sure is a neat flower. good luck finding one.
