You got it, Mike! Thanks! I wasn't banking on getting the 'real' name of it! There's such a wealth of knowledge on AR. This year, in our area (midlands of Scouth Carolina), many people had their bottle brush shrubs killed. They are beautiful bushes but hard to photograph! Thanks and have a great week!!

Bruce/Mary, these are one of my favorites, they are all over my neighborhood and I never knew the botanical name before - so thanks for asking the question, and to Mike for giving it!

Certainly a unique flower-- here in Montana we have the Indian Paint brush that grows wild and has that same wonderful color on a single stem flower.

So I guess I could pretend to know the name after the fact. Our resident botanist Mike Saunders is on his game....LOL Hope you had a great weekend and ready for the week ahead.

Thanks everyone for your comments! Mike is (of course) right, as usual! Thanks Mike for the botanical name. Now, I will always know who to ask for information. No, Charles, it is not sticky! But is is a beautiful shrub! Have a great one and thanks again!

Bruce - up here in New Joisey we call them {at least my wife Lisa calls them} spider plants but I'm sure that's not right. Mikes got the right answer I believe...Pretty flower though and nice shot.

Hey Robert - Thanks so much for your comment! I've never heard the bottle brush bush called a spider plant but then I am far from being an authority on plants and flowers. I just love them and love to photograph them. Have a great weekend and thanks again!
