Bottle Brush (Callistemon) in full bloom

I must watch out next time I get flowers. I never knew there would be seeds.

@allknowing Yes they are all over the place hanging off the tree. They are stuck to the branches after the flowers fall off.

@NicoleMcNeal I shall look out for them now. Thanks.

Its about 18 years old and what you see is just one third of the glory. It has never bloomed so profusely in all these years although blooms have always been there twice or thrice in a year. I cannot take my eyes off it perga... It is just near my gate and adds dignity to my property.

Coldest since 1952!! Must be quite an experience perga.. with all those woollies round you. And what is this butterfly bush you are talking about. How does it look?

I know what you mean...my Butterfly Bush (Buddleia-Davidii) is about 20 feet from the main door of my house...my inspiration every time I go out the door! Seems my world is incomplete without it blooming! A link for reference only; www.daytonnurseries.com/Encyclopedia/Perennials/Buddleia.htm There you will find the species of Buddleia...I have the Davidii, but it looks somewhat like your bottle brush with it's long sweeping, elegant branches, with a pannacle of 6-8" flowers adorning each branch!

I have very few people in my life who can spare time for nature and I do wish that situation changed as nature has enough that one can find nowhere else.
