Texas Bird of Paradise

I suspect these belong to the same family as the Bottle Brush, but having googled them, I believe they're called 'Texas Bird of Paradise'. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm not familiar with this, but it's a great blend of textures and shapes, with lovely dof.

All the plants represented here look very much like a flower arrangement. The way you've moved about until everything was framed just so in your viewfinder has made for a Fav'orable image. Very pretty!

I have no idea, but you've certainly captured them beautifully. Love the focus and the soft light.
