Jim, they're called Callistemon or simply "bottle brushes". They're an Australian plant. I planted tons of them around our house in Brisbane. Here in Germany I also tried to plant a few, but they only survived their first winter. This previous winter they all died. There must be some winter-hard varieties though as the temperatures around Canberra often drop way below freezing at night and they seem to grow well there.
