Combretum Constrictum or New Guinea Bottlebrush

Lovely colour and structure...

Thanks TT - I'm just glad that I finally found out its name.

Both names seem to suit it well :o)

Gorgeous colour.

There are several Bottlebrush plants growing in gardens I pass on the way backwards to town.

This flower is beautiful!

very striking, Bernieh..love it

Bernieh:

I love all the Combretum species...they all are very spectacular flowering vines, shrubs and trees. Most grow well here.

Yes thanks Delonix, Deida, Balcony and Sunblest - this shrub is a beauty and I just love it's unusual bloom. It has those star-shaped flowers and out of the centre of each grow those long stamens.

Bernieh:

The star-shaped flowers are common in the Combretaceae family.

Beautiful flower stunning too

BEAUTIFUL!!! Added to my favourites :o)))

Thank Linsuffolk ... it's a fascinating bloom with its tiny star shaped flowers and long stamens.

It certainly is Bernieh.......
