There are two of these shrubs near the front gate and they have both just started flowering. Soon they will be covered in these fantastic red powder puffs.

Oh! Another fav, so whispy! Is it in the bottle brush family?

Tasteyg I think this is from the Mimosaceae family - the best known members being the acacias and wattles of course.
