Saw this flowering shrub planted on a roundabout near some superstores,lovely bright green spiky foliage and small reddish pink flowers.
Looks like it can be hard pruned and must be fairly robust for where it is positioned.
Could it be some sort of bottle brush?

It looks like it could be a type of Callistemon

Agree Grevillea.
Maybe Grevillea rosmarinifolia...but haven't got to grips with id differences.
Jupiperina V rosmarinifolia
