Calliandra, Pompon, Powder-Puff Tree, Red Powderpuff 'Nana' (Calliandra haematocephala)
Seed pod comes after the flower is well gone. Mine never has very many. This pod had 3 seeds inside.
An attention grabber. Blooms last a long time on the plant but die if picked. Bloom in February in zone 9b.
A tireless bloomer. Mine is 5' tall by about 6' wide.
