Red Powderpuff

*NaturPics-club is doing their monthly contest on "Red" so I dragged the roomie to the botanical gardens in search of red things (and just getting out of the apartment and being warm for a while didn't hurt either.)

For the most part I was rather disappointed in my pics, but then that's my own fault. But I have always loved the powderpuffs, and they always seem to cooperate with me...

Red Powderpuff is actually the real common name of the plant. (Calliandra haematocephale Fabaceae)
