John 162-192--Calliandra californica (Baja Fairy Duster)--9 June 2007-1

Description:

Calliandra californicaBaja fairy duster. I'm uncertain if this plant makes it into the California Floristic Province. I do have another photo of the species in habitat at a location that must be near the southern border of the province. This specimen has been growing in a sunny, well-protected spot on the west side of our home since the late 1990s. It blooms every year. Photographed at a private garden in Berkeley, CA
