The bottle brush flower is truly amazing .... it starts off as these little "balls" tightly
wrapped, on a 'stalk" and slowly they start opening, stretching, as it were, in order
to open up into the specimen above.
Below are a few images of different stages of growth and of the detail.

Excellent macro. I have never seen a bottle brush before. Very striking.
Wow. These are beautiful!
I took some bottlebrush pictures the other day, but they aren't as good as these. I'll still post them at soem stage though.
This is such a wild-looking flower! Very cool! :)
A gorgeous flower! Amazing RED color! Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
This is probably the most amazing and beautiful flower I have ever seen. The way it starts out compared to the way it is after it blooms is mind boggling. Your maco shots are great. What a RED!!!!
I love the shot where the little brushes are still curled up and ready to spring to life.
I love these photos... particularly like the 4th one... the red is so vibrant...
wow!!!
Gorgeous macro shots! I've always loved bottlebrush flowers, and here, you captured the details vividly. Very impressive!
Wait.. I'm not really sure but I think my mom have the same flower in our backyard.. or not. Hehe...
Anyway, nice shot! Simply beautiful.
Here's mine. Hope you could visit too.
