Bottlebrush

This was going to be a tiny little bird sitting on this flower.......
Slightest movement and they are gone. Decided I liked this anyway with the various stages of growth

Still haven't bought any Geraldton Wax for my garden....need to do more tidying up before I get more plants.

[Bill South]

I love these trees! Great shot!

What a beautiful plant... never seen anything like that over here in the uk ♥

[EvaHenriette]

Wow, that a lovely shot. Like the way you've taken them in the hanging downwards direction. Very pretty.

I can't find the photo I was thinking about...obviously didn't load it on here. This one shows a few different stages of the flowers opening. Gradual opening from the top down. They look so pretty when the whole tree is in bloom.

@onie Love this! Looks like fireworks! Yes, the one on the left is in the process of opening. You've motivated me to go back and try to capture the process. Thanks!
