My trees are blooming...

I love, love, love the red puffy blooms on these trees. I am so lucky and grateful to have one of these luscious trees right in front of my condo.
I think Spring is in the air...

Thanks to everyone who helped me figure out what kind of tree this is! It's a weeping bottlebrush!

Not sure what sort of tree that is, but I'm trying to work it out.

Our trees are losing their leaves here because it's mid-autumn in our neck of the woods.

I posted a picture on Facebook to get help and now I know that it is a weeping bottlebrush from the mrytle family.

I believe that the latin word for this tree is Callistemon viminalis, and there are different varieties, as shown on this link: http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=WZPA,WZPA:2006-10,WZPA:en&q=Callistemon+viminalis
a very pretty tree - wish we had one here.
