How beautiful those creeks must look Chosun. I love that plant.

We have one over here called snow in summer, but it's quite a different plant, with a pretty little white flower.

Yes Delia - looks like cotton candy! :)

They smell of sweet perfume ..... mmmm - honey - yum!
and of course all manner of insects love them - a veritable supermarket! Lol

Thanks Stanley, these really attract the insects with their nectar - we have other shrubs/trees here known as 'Grevilleas' which can literally drip honey at times (so far more accessible to birds and even us ! :) - handy for when you are out in the bush and in need of a bit of a snack ! :) :t:
