Seeing Red – Bottlebrushes

These gorgeous red bottlebrushes are flowering in our garden at the moment. I love the way the deep red is set off by just that tiny yellow tip.

I have used bottlebrushes in my linocuts in the past. Above is Mini Bottlebrush – it is one of a collection of miniatures of Australian flora. Below is New South Wales Flora in which the red bottlebrush feature.
