Calliandra californica - Baja Fairy Duster

Great name - I see you managed to get a photo of another calliandra.

Benieh:

Yes, it's one of the native calliandra. It is also pretty when in bloom which is in Summer...a contrast to all the other species which bloom heavily in Fall/Winter.

So I'm thinking that if it's a native it might be from around 'Baja' - is that an area in California?

Bernieh:

It is native from Southern California into Baja California (Mexico)....which is just across the border. The Mexican border is less than 15 miles south from my house.

Thanks Delonix.

You're welcome.
