Beaufortia orbifolia – Ravensthorpe Bottlebrush This lovely flower is a native to Western Australia, named after the Duchess of Beaufort and the orbifolia bit from the Latin which refers to the rounded shape of the leaves. “This is a small genus of approx. 19 species which occur naturally in the SW. The genus is closely related to the more familiar Melaleuca, both having stamens which are joined into clusters. The difference is in the arrangement of the anthers (the pollen bearing structures of the flowers). In Beaufortia they are attachjed to the stamens at their bases, whereas in Melaleuca they are attached along their sides. / It is a spreading or erect shrub from 1.5 – 3 metres high with rounded foliage about 5mm in diameter, the red and green flowers appear in late winter and spring.” / Info: asgap.org.au Found in Kings Park in Perth WA / Camera: Olympus FE240 compact /

Shot with a Pentax MZ60 film camera and scanned into Photoshop with Orton effect applied. / “B.sparsa is a small to medium shrub to about 2 – 3 metres high. The leaves are oval shaped and about 10 mm long, bright green in colour. The orange to red flower clusters occur towards the ends of the branches, their size and colour making for a spectacular sight. Flowering occurs in summer and may extend into autumn. Following flowering, seeds develop in woody capsules similar to those formed with Melaleuca species. The seeds are retained within the capsules indefinitely. “B.sparsa is probably the best known member of the genus and the most widely cultivated. However, the genus Beaufortia, generally, is not common in cultivation, particularly in areas of summer humidity and rainfall where they can be short lived even in well drained soils. Unfortunately B.sparsa is no exception to this general rule. Plants are more successful in drier climates where they are desirable garden subjects, the colourful bottlebrush or globular-shaped flower clusters being attractive to birds. The species should be grown in well drained conditions in full sun or dappled shade and it is tolerant of at least moderate frost.” / Source: http://asgap.org.au/b-spa.html / Click here to visit my Red Bubble Site gallery. /
