Red Powder Puff - Calliandra Haematocephala

Oooh...............stunning..........

Awesome! Powderpuff is right! Nice photo : )

Thanks Charlieb - the name really suits doesn't it?

A Show stopper!

Is this part of the Robina family? I love it.

Hi Doon - this one is from the Mimosaceae family.

gorgeous you have got some lovely plants

Thanks Blue - these calliandras are very common here. They are not hard to grow and put on a fabulous show over winter.

Ooh...lovely Bernieh, similar flower to an Albitzia....really unusual!

Yes Janey - they are very similar aren't they? I have no idea if they're related. I have the red and pink calliandras and they are in full bloom at the moment providing some much needed winter colour.

Yes very similar...the foliage too........I bet they look great right now...:o)
