My Bottle Brush Shrubs

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.

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.

Big Texas Hugs,
