This spiky display belongs to the Red Bottlebrush, an evergreen shrub native to Australia that is a crowd-pleaser in the Chicago Botanic Garden desert greenhouse. Photographing it is easy, but subduing the vivid red -- a color digital cameras often have difficulty rendering accurately -- took considerable post-processing work in Lightroom.
