Beginning of winter in northern Oz: Red Powder Puff starts to bloom - Calliandra Haematocephala

That looks great, i wish i had one in my front garden, it's gorgeous :)

Oh! Another fav, so whispy! Is it in the bottle brush family?

Tasteyg I think this is from the Mimosaceae family - the best known members being the acacias and wattles of course.

Well, that looks familiar. LOL!. Beautiful photo!
These shrubs/trees are widely grown here also...which
bloom in winter also. : > )

Very pretty and effective

It sure is Morgana - makes an impact at our front gate.
