Sparse Blooms

 



I drove past that giant bottle brush tree that blooms every April and discovered another year of weak blooms.  

I first discovered this tree in 2018 when it was ablaze with blooms.  Then in 2019 it was once again full of bright red blooms














I haven't seen it bloom like that again.  I wonder if it has bloomed earlier the past two years and I'm just seeing that last of the blooms.  I'm going to mark my calendar for next year and try again.

Such an unusual flower to these eyes, Sharon.

Interesting. Maybe some years are just better for flowers than others. Is the tree's owner someone you could ask? They could tell you if it's an issue of timing or annual variability.

It is a pretty but very messy tree.
