This Tropical shrub has the common name, powder puff, and scientific name, Calliandra (which means "beautiful stamens"); both are appropriate as the flowers have densely packed, silky pink or white stamens that look like powder puffs.
This particular variety of calliandra, the schultzii , is unique for its striking blooms that are both white and pink. This one flowers throughout the year. The leaves close at night. The powder puff flowers are attractive to butterflies. There were a number of these shrubs in the hotel grounds where we were based when on holiday in The Gambia.
Before sunrise. This once was the gate to Old Town. The gate was used to store gunpowder in the 17th century, hence the name Powder Tower.
With eight to 10 inches overnight and another four to five during the day, February 24 was an epic powder day at Heavenly!
Very tight little powder room.
Umm, took a seat and shot a 7 shot blend in Enfuse.
Nik Viveza and filters. Straightening in PTlens and PS.
Interesting mirror frame.

Shot of powder room from doorway. It's hard to take photos of the room because it is so small. The mirror looks like an off color in the room but it is a good match in real life. It got mounted too high but we dropped it down later after the photo got taken
Powder? - yes, this is washing powder Persil Megaperls on a CD. The picture is not cropped. 5x magnification.
This was my entry for the Powder brief in Canons 2011 Photo 5 competition. This shot was taken on a trampoline using chalk dust and soft foam balls, shutter speed was roughly 1/3000sec in order to capture the dust floating in mid air.

I love these Red Powder Puff flowers! The light coming in through the ceiling in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo just caught this bloom nicely.
"Native to Bolivia, Red Powder Puff is an evergreen shrub or small tree. It was formerly included in the legume or pea family, but has recently been shifted into the mimosa family. It typically grows 10-15’ tall in its native habitat and is a very popular flowering shrub in central and southern Florida, where it will survive year-round in the ground. Raspberry-like flower buds open to hemispherical red powder puff flower heads (to 3” across) consisting of masses of scarlet stamens. Variations in flower color exist, with some pink and white forms being available. Calliandra comes from the Greek words kallos meaning beauty and andros meaning stamen."
