This is a bottle brush plant in one of the green houses within the walled gardens at Normanby Hall. we have one of these plants in our garden, but it only flowers every 2 years, however when it does it's quite spectacular. We went to Normanby Hall last weekend. We couldn't get out this weekend because of kids parties. I took Harry to a party yesterday, it was a lively affair, bouncy castles etc and the usual party food afterwards. Guess which of the 30 children threw up all over their dad?

Probably ALL of them, Bazza, but you were only there for yours (which, in retrospect, should make you very happy).

Great photo. Our bottle brush trees bloom yearly. What's up with yours?

I love bottle brushes. We planted two where we used to live. Around here they can get really big. I miss ours.
