FLORAL FRIDAY, TODAY'S FLOWERS & Nature Notes - Bottle Brush


An emergency session with the dentist on Friday
made me a present as solace for loosing a tooth
of this cascade of Callistemons
overhanging the steps as I left to rescue 
my waiting dog in the car


walking under this gleaming red canopy
was a delight indeed.

    It is indeed a stunner. I hope our baby version grows to be as beautiful.
    Sigh on the dentist front though. I hope the pain is only a memory.

    Beautiful bush. Reminds me of a bottle brush type bush seen in South Africa.

    My uncle had this lovely flower growing around his garden and I thought I remember hummingbirds flocking to it.

    Aww, I'm sorry about the tooth. But the flowers sure are festive! My parents have a tree full of these blooms in front of their house. In the evenings, a thousand little birds nest in there and chirp. They sound so happy gossiping with each other. Have a beautiful week! xoxo
