Maybe Acacia angustissima http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/73443/
It must have rained as the blooms, I'd think, would be more of a puff-ball.

Does Acacia angustissima look like this after it has been rained upon?

Calliandra portoricensis appears correct. Often called Snow Flake Acacia

Thank you ALL...
Yes, calliandra portoricensis seems to be a very good match.
