You are being way too kind, but I will take the praise and say Thank You.

Bob, I calls em as I sees em.

I'm curious what the plant might be. Someone posted a bottle brush photo https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/photo-critique/175171-macro-bottlebrush-blossom.html and it doesn't look to be the same. I asked my resident expert but she informed me that not enough of the plant was visible to try and determine even the family.

Here is a quick snap of the bush, hope this helps. Bob

Hey thanks Bob, you didn't have to do that.

My expert is away for the weekend, hoping someone will have an ID so I can tell her.
