T is for Tubada, the Noongar word for Bottlebrush or Callistemon phoeniceus. The nectar rich flowers can be soaked in water to create a sweet drink, the bark was used for traditional medicine and the hard wood is perfect for manufacturing wooden items.
This 20 x 20 mini acrylic painting is part of an A-Z series showing the diversity and beauty of Australian flora. I grew up in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the project was an exercise in learning and appreciating Aboriginal plant lore, and learning more about Australian plant species in my adopted home.
