Bottle Brush

Looking at all of the bottle brush trees in my area bursting with bright red blooms, I was worried at my tree which didn't have many flowers at all. I thought I might have damaged the roots when I did the trenching or given it too much water with my new drainage system. Perhaps the chook poo was putting too much nitrogen and phosphorus into the soil which I think natives don't like. These photos were taken on 27th October.

However, a few weeks later, it came good with a magnificent display. It's just starting to fade now.
