Blooming Great Day Out

I met a friend for coffee (actually a smoothie and a milkshake) at a garden centre where I couldn't resist snapping these blooms. I thought the mass of Foxgloves were impressive until I saw the 'Bottle Brush' tree. It was amazing. I don't know it's proper name, I have always known it by that name. I'm sure one of my fellow blippers will know it. Also you might notice there is a Bee tucking into his lunch in the close-up shot.
