Bottle brush plants grow typically red flowers that look like bottle brushes, hence the name. The flowers' beautiful bright colors make them very attractive to nectar-feeding birds, bees and wasps. The plant is native to Australia, but is cultivated worldwide. Here are some photos of this beautiful plant taken in China's Sichuan Province. 

About 'City of Wild'

Nature is not limited to faraway mountains and oceans, it also exists in urban cities and our daily lives. In the series, "City of Wild," CGTN not only unfolds a world of wildlife you were probably not aware of, but also highlights the theme of this year's CBD COP 15: Ecological Civilization: Building a Shared Future for All Life on Earth.
