Not ordinary

I forgot the name of this flower and tried all sorts of googling. Eventually, I found it and it has the most unimaginable name,... bottle brush!
New Years Eve here and we are happy not to be amongst loud party goers.
Thankful for:
THAT!
Yes, it is commonly called Bottle Brush. I have seen some of them in my country. Gorgeous close up shot and focus. Great light against the black background.

Was just about to say it’s a bottle brush, they don’t grow here I believe, but we’ve seen them elsewhere. Always thought that hey had to have a real name, perhaps not.

@sangwann The flower is very similar to our rata and pohutukawa, Dione but they are exotic NZ flowers and poor old bottlebrush is stuck with its name!
