bottle brush

Narrow container cleaner

A bottle brush is a cylindrical brush with bristles radiating from a central wire, designed to clean the inside of bottles and other narrow containers.

The shape has lent its name to various plants with similar flower spikes, especially Australian shrubs of the genus Callistemon: The bottle brush in our yard attracts hummingbirds.
