These powder puff trees were flowering at the San Diego Zoo. Most species of Calliandra bloom during the winter.

It’s a very common shrub here (but, not the white one). The other common one is Calliandra surinamensis (Surinam Powder Puff) which has pink and white stamens. There’s several species of Calliandra that grow here.
Here’s an old pic I posted in 2008

See who else is growing Calliandra haematocephala.
See who else has plants in genus Calliandra.
Never seen these before, Andy. Are there 3 colours or just the 2 but one that looks a bit pinkish?
