These Powder Puff are so pretty! A very commonly found here in parks and by the roadsides. I've seen the red Powder Puffs too.
ReplyDeleteLovely details of the Powder Puff. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of those yesteryears when most trees used in street landscaping here were mainly this type.Nice shot!

I think they must be a cousin to the Baja Fairy Duster. Great shots. We have lots of these blooming here in the desert right now. Have been meaning to get out and shoot some of them. I think you've just inspired me. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Fun blooms! They look like little fireworks in the sky!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fluffy blooms...
