Tropical Botanist Filter - What is the name of this flower (or name of plant) that we took photo of in Costa Rica? Thanks!

Looks like Bottlebrush or Callistemon.

Calliandra, but I don't know what species (links to two random internet examples).

Where did you find that beauty? I've lived in CR for a good long while, but not seen that particular flower....
