I love the bottle brush tree as we had a lot of them on our farm and their red flowers were always great to see and attracted a lot of bees. Unfortunately I don't stay on the farm any more, but here are some picture of the one in my Aunt's garden. I took these photos with a Canon PowerShot A810 camera.
The flowers are found on most major new branches and it looks like a brush which gives the tree it's name.
The flowers that are growing are shown in the picture above. there are many of them and when the bloom they have a few "bristles" that add to the brush when all of them have bloomed.
This is still a very young one, so the bark is not very developed, but it gets slightly darker with age and the patern of the bark gets deeper and rougher.
Brand new shoots have a covering of small leaves, just before the proper leaves come out. It kind of looks like a small pine cone.
Hope you enjoyed the photos!

@madiba thanks for sharing the photos look very crisp may have to look at the canon power shot. Do they respond well to indoor lighting ? As most my posts would be close up on staged lighting. Nice post 👍

an irresistible and beautiful flower for the first time I see
Lovely photos! I also <3 this plant!
Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we're still at the mercy of nature.
The good human is the friend of all living things.

Haha I love these shots, what mode was used on the Canon Powershot? Thanks!
Thanks for the info! Upvoted your post but...
Flagged due to repetition; Steemit is a completely open platform, here are all of your comments: https://steemit.com/@ur-nxt-grlfrnd/comments
I saw your comment on Jerry Banfield's #177 post about staying up with his daughter. It fit there. It doesn't fit here, so I downvoted this instance of it.
Just found this comment of yours, thanks for pointing that out @libertyteeth! Actually It's a bot, it's made to stop people make too long posts which consume a lots of time of readers. This bot helps to keep steemit posts short, clear, and sweet! Whenever it detects a long post, it replies to the post, the above post was long, but it contained only few images, and the bot didn't knew that! However, I have successfully fixed the bot now.
I don't see the benefit from such a bot.
