I have never seen my Bottle Brush shrubs as full as they are this
spring. I was not familiar with them until we moved back to
Texas. They were planted in a garden patch at the back of
one wing of the house by the previous owner, and they are right
under one of the windows of the master bedroom.
under one of the windows of the master bedroom.
The bush originated inAustralia and does well in warm climates. It stays green all
year and will thrive in drought conditions, but if it receives regular waterings,
it will bring forth these unique blooms in spring.
Isn't nature fascinating?
Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy the start of another
weekend.

Well, Susan...I've never seen one of these before and it's just beautiful...and the blooms DO look just like little bottle brushes....xoxo....Hi, Bentley
ReplyDeleteYes, they really do look like little bottle brushes. I had blooms in the past, but only a few. This spring these little bushes are very happy!
DeleteHummingbirds and butterflies like them, too!
ReplyDeleteGood, because I have two hummingbird feeders to hang up!
DeleteSusan, these are amazing!!!! Can you dry them? Just beautiful! I have never seen this plant and the color is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHello to Bentley from our 2 Greyhounds!!
I don't know if I can dry them, but it's worth a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
DeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandi!
DeleteI had one of these bushes on the Texas Coast years ago. I wasn't there long enough to know whether they have to be cut back or does it just stay bushy? Your picture brought back memories!
ReplyDeleteMine stays bushy. I have never cut them back or done anything special except water them until this spring when I added a little bit of cow manure to augment the soil. Apparently they love cow manure!
DeleteVery pretty! We had a bottle brush tree when we lived in California,
ReplyDeletebut I didn't know they came in a shrub form, tpp!
That is supposed to be spelled..."too". Time for the weekend...
DeleteIt's news to me too Linda!
DeleteI honestly do not think I have ever seen a bottle brush that was that lush and full. Gorgeous. Yes- Nature is AMAZING! Hope you have a blessed weekend-xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSo pretty they are, don't know if I've seen these in IL? I can't believe how filled in your garden is...things are just popping here now and can't wait to see my garden in bloom again!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cool aren't they?? We have them here too, but I have not seen any in bloom yet. I think they are so unusual and neat!
ReplyDeleteSusan, what a beautiful shrub that I have never seen before! The bloom is so unique! Blessings, Pam @ Everyday Living
ReplyDeleteIt really lives up to its name and is quite a striking looking shrub!
