The bottlebrush buckeye

It comes from North America, but more and more of these shrubs are in our parks. They are nice, but they disrupt the native nature system.

Love the out of focus points of light in the background. Beautifully rendered.

Great picture and I love the bokeh and your processing. Unfortunately same here concerning, the invasiveness. :-(

interesting - maybe it is finishing off, but it seems more straggly than Australian ones (very different species)

I think the bokeh in black and white really makes this one and I can see why you prefer it.

Gorgeous bokeh!

I believe that I like the color version of this better, although this shows off the lines of the "petals.

[Taffy]

Wonderful contrast of the brush and the bokeh.
