These beautiful red bottlebrush flowers are at Dunedin Botanic Gardens, New Zealand. Taken by Liz on Christmas Day 2019. Callistemon species, Australian garden. Click on photo to enlarge.
Just today, I noticed some still blooming here. The color’s lovely and festive, and they certainly can fill up a space, but I wish they didn’t remind me of dishwashing.
And nice you commented on the contrast! I wandered around the bush admiring the flowers and looking for a good angle, looked back, saw the contrast and bingo 🙂

Easy to see how they got their name and so brightly red. They are nicely contrasted with the graphic blocks on the walkway.
