Description
Around the tour of The Botanical Gardens many trees were not described but MAYBE someone amongst you will tell me that the unusual flower from this tree is very common. I have to say that I just had to take a shot Because here in the UK we don't see these. I was fascinated by it.
The big question is " What is it? " .
I wish you all well.
All comments welcome, thanks.

Looks like some kind of Mimosa
It looks very much like the 'Lesser Known Bottle Brush'. It's a fantastic thing whatever the name Alan, i shall return frequently until somebody comes up with the correct name. Great detail when viewed large, I thought at first it had sharp points but on closer inspection it loks to have little postules at the tip of each spine, I don't think you could call them petals. Well spotted and captured. Bravo!!!!!
EXCELLENT CAPTURE , COLORS & BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
Someting similar to a bottlebrush shrub..?
Well, its interesting... The leaves are much like the Mimosa but the bloom is like the bottlebrush. A lovely shot!
well i`m clueless aswell ,but this is a great shot all the same mick
I don't know what kind of tree this is, it looks very strange. I like it :) Would love to see one for real.
I wou say American Bottle brush plant, Alan. I have a shot in my gallery too. Wonderful capture, it is a glorious bloom.. Hugs. Di.
I'd say it's beautyfull, very feathery and an very bright red!
Stunning shade of red against the green background, excellent capture
A nice shot! This is a 'Red Baja fairy duster', CALLIANDRA species, Family: Leguminosae. Calliandra californica, or red Baja fairy duster , is a low, evergreen shrub mounding to 3 or 4-ft. Suited to desert or tropical effects. Soil: Moist soil, prefers good drainage. Sun: Reflected sun to part shade. Water: Highly draught resistant, but supply with regular water until established and later to maintain bloom in warm season. Temperature: Foliage and stem damage around 28F (-2C). Stem damage at 26F (-4C) and lower. Recovers quickly in spring. Maintenance: Little care erxcept for occasional grooming or weed control. This information is straight out of 'Plants for Dry Climates'. .
Great shot!
Very cool! Something different and wonderful. Beautiful shot! I've not seen this before. Of course if it's a "Plant for Dry Climates," that would explain why it's new to me! I don't think anyone would describe Seattle as "dry."
This is 'Albizia Julibrissin'.....a Silk Tree, also known as Mimosa tree. This is a wonderful photo, and the red blossoms are stunning. I have a pink one, which doesn't do too well, too moist here.... These trees can get up to 35' tall, and make the most wonderful shade trees.
beautiful....
Astonishing coulours. It reminds me the Albizia trees seen for the first time in Périgord, South of France. Beautiful shot.
I'm not sure what type of plant/flower, but it's beautiful! :^)
Wow! this looks fantastic!
The first thought was a Mimosa, but i dont know, only that is is a beautiful shot.
