Beautiful. We are lucky to have many wonderful bottlebrushes around here – pinks, yellow and purples as well as the reds (even a few in our front yard}. One of my favorite subjects, particularly for macros.
Thank you, Matt. I wish we had some yellows, purples, and pinks around here—for photographing, of course, but also just to enjoy for their color and beauty.
ha ha realy a very nice bottlebrush
🙂
What a neat plant, Kenn, and the color is so pretty, especially set against that crystal clear blue sky!
Thank you, Lisa. Blue skies like that always seem to make great co-stars.
Wonderful !!!
I have in front of the house (on the street) a blooming Callistemon (Bottlebrushes) 🙂
So you know how beautiful they are in person. Thank you for the kind words!
So aptly named!
Thanks, Pat—yes, they really do look like bottle cleaners!
Foto bellissima, i colori sono fantastici!!
Ciao, Patrizia
La ringrazio molto, Patrizia!
