Ceropegia Species, Suriname Powderpuff, Pink Powder Puff (Calliandra surinamensis)



This is a picture of calliandra from Dubai United Arab Emirates... Zone11...It blooms in december

Attractive 8 ft tall type bush. One of my favorites.

This plant blooms constantly, but never gets covered with flowers like other Calliandras. Mid winter, Rio de Janeiro

This is my little Powder Puff. I have never had a plant bring me so much joy. It is always blooming and so easy to care for. No trouble at all. It likes my sandy soil.
