A Pink Powder Puff (Calliandra surinamensis). .......just outside my back patio........
When we moved into the current house in mid May, it was all green......
Within weeks I saw pink touches among the green canopy..........
In a month, it turned spectacular.....with zillion powder puff-like flowers........
Crows, orioles, sparrows, mockingbirds, hummingbirds to parrots flocked to rest and forage on it....
As summer escalates its heat, soon the blooms will wither away.....and the tree will be back to normal..but it offered views worth-remembering.........
