Calliandra eriophylla
Fairy-duster is a straggling, densely branched, deciduous shrub to 3 ft., though usually much shorter, with grayish-pubescent leaflets, flowers and pods. The petals of fairy duster are inconspicuous; it is the long, pink filaments of the stamens that make the showy display.
Habitat yard on Lake Belton.
As it cooled off in fall, the Fairy Duster started blooming again.
