We have a bottle brush tree growing like crazy in our garden at the moment- aren't the flowers kind of outrageous? It's not a tree I'd think of to plant myself, but now I have one, I really like it. It's covered in bees and smells gorgeous, and I love the seed pods that grow on the branches and look like tiny wooden bells.
I found some vintage barkcloth in my local op-shop recently that made me think instantly of bottle-brush flowers. I made a bag from it which is part of my etsy shop update today.
Hope you're having a good Wednesday, so far!
