Uniquely Ozzie Flowers

[2Stupid2Duck]

I think these are uniquely ozzie flowers so I thought I would share them.

(To be honest, I was inspired by the Trillian but wasn't sure if it was acceptable to thread steal in these forums by posting the shots in there.)

They are commonly called bottlebrushes - but that phrase applies to a few different species that just look a bit similar (the real name of this particular one is Callistemon).

Looks great! Very vibrant and the colors are nice and bright.

The first one appeals to me allot.

LOL. I hoped it would provide you all with some amusement.

I just realised that I think maybe I should be doing some of these things in the theme forum. Flowers, pets, - could be a lotta fun. It's just that I kinda rush looking at all the photos people post (on this forum and the critique one) so I tend not to look through too many other places.
