A Stray - Silk Tassel Bush

This one photo of a blooming flower that intended to include in my last post did not want to be there.  So, I'm giving the Silk Tassel Bush its own treatment.  This is an attractive shrub which, when it's not blooming. resembles Manzanita to the casual observer.  The flowers are unmistakable, though.  To those who follow my posts and know that the relationships between plants and bugs fascinate me above all else, it won't seem surprising that my favorite part of this photo is the chewed leaf in the upper left corner.  Go figure.
