Callistemon! Edit - Callistemon citrinus has been reclassified as Melaleuca citrina. AKA the common red bottlebrush, crimson bottlebrush or lemon bottlebrush. It's endemic to Eastern Australia. Therefore...
PS - not weird in the slightest
It's quite common in the parks and gardens in the South of France, where it's nicknamed "rince-bouteille" (bottle rincer). I didn't know it came from Australia.
The climate there would be good growing conditions. I hope it doesn’t cause issues though. Introduced species can sometimes be problematic.
I just checked: there's absolutely no problem with this one. And even better: it produces a lot of nectar for the European bees.
