Brittlebush

Brittlebush is a common desert shrub that gets the name because its stems can break off easily. It's in the same family as the sunflower.

Linking with Monday Mellow Yellows

Have a wonderful week!

    They are not one of my favorite plants/flowers. After they bloom I always have the gardener cut all the dead foliage down to the ground around my home.
    But some of your photos make them looks so nice. Now I will have to go outside and see if my Brittlebrush look like sunflowers in your beautiful photos.

    cheers, parsnip

    Isn't yellow such an empowering color? I always associate with a color of vibrancy and hope but I remember I had only worn this color once in my life so far! Nice shots!

    Love Naqvee

    These flowers, like a little sunshine. It's nice to look at because of our cold, cloudy and sometimes it snows. Regards.

    I imagine that anything more robust than a butterfly would cause it some injury then.

    I didn't know what they were called, I thought they were just some sort of mini-sunflower. I guess they are. Thanks.

    I think that brittlebrush grows here too. It sure looks familiar.
