Oct 23, 2023 - A flower from out and about in TGO - Plus Dave's photos from last post.

I saw this as I was out and about in TGO – beautiful powderpuff hiding the bee – took a picture with my digital device to show you all. Then I took the same digital device and ask it what the tree was called – It is a Calliandra haematocephala Hassk.

Say it over and over – It will be on the test one of these days!
