Bottlebrush Flowers


Callistemon are referred to as Bottlebrush flowers since they resemble bottlebrushes.


This particular bottlebrush tree is attracting many wasps.
The wasp appears to be cleaning up the bristles...


It must be tough cleaning up the bristles. Some areas are very hard to reach.

    Your photography just gets better each time I visit, One. How did you achieve that bokeh? The images look sharper with the bokeh background like that .
