A little late for the glitter of Christmas but welcoming in a new year, the Bottle Brush flowers have a special sparkle.

Beautiful!
I hadn’t noticed the sparkles before. We have a Pohutukawa tree across the road that has the sparkles too. The other three don’t. The Myrtle family is having a grand flowering time here at the moment.
Any idea why some have the sparkles and others not? It’s very pretty – and very appropriate for this time of year 🙂
No I have no idea about the sparkles. On the Bottle Brush I wonder if there is more pollen on the stamens now the nectar feeding birds have gone elsewhere to feed.
I am totally in the dark about the Pohutukawa.
Amazing sparkles, and it’s not too late for Christmas. Today the Orthodox churches celebrate Christmas. 🙂 🙂
They are right on time then!
