Captured with my Fuji S5000 in the beautiful morning sun.

Looks a bit like half a bottlebrush. I didn't know you were a nature freak ST!

Ooooh, is that what they call them? Surprisingly, I do enjoy taking shots of flowers...

I think he meant that it looks like an actual bottle-brush... I could be wrong... Maybe J is closet naturalist!

[StudioJ]

Nah I'm a closet Aussie, there actually is a flower here called a Bottlebrush, it may well have a better botanical name than that though.

Nice colour Jules.

I try to help where I can.

I love those sorts of shots.... as do the ladies... hahah.. I'm so smoove!

Ah, the Callistemon citrinus (crimson bottlebrush)... well done gd!

Looks like my particular specimen (as StudioJ pointed out) was only half formed...
