What is the name of this bush - it looks so colourful with so many flowers! Oh, just found out: Ceratopetalum gummiferum). I'm no wiser!

@maggiemae The New South Wales Christmas Bush (Ceratopetalum gummiferum) is an iconic Australian native plant. It’s an attractive evergreen native shrub with pointed shiny leaves, an ornamental plant well worth having in an edible garden. It produces creamy white flowers in spring which turn a beautiful shade of bright red around Christmas time, hence the name.
It grows well here on the Sunshine Coast & it IS very beautiful.

Lovely shot of these beautiful flowers, so many of them on the bush!

I've always wanted one of these, maybe I should just go and get one

That's a real beauty. It seems to be too cold for one to survive here - I've tried.
