Saluting every life with a flower each day! Flowers are soul of the planet, blooming to play music with silent notes. Smile at them as they are sweet hearted!! Only the photographs taken by me are uplinked. I lean heavily to http://www.flowersofindia for flower identification and descriptions. Looking forward to valuable comments and suggestions.
The bottle brush is a shrub or small tree. It is native to the states of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia. They are a gardeners delight for the floral beauty and used in landscaping. The flower spikes are made up of a number of individual flowers. The pollen of the flower is found on the top of a long stalk, which gives the flower spike its colour and distinctive bottle brush shape. I have observed this plant in many home gardens in Trivandrum, my native place. This photograph i took while on a trip to Coonoor in the evening of 3rd December, 2010.
