Persian Silk Tree

I just managed to capture this fluffy, powder-puff type bloom before the flowers stop blooming. I do love seeing them every year at this time of the year!


"Albizia julibrissin, the Persian silk tree or pink silk tree, is a species of tree in the family Fabaceae, native to southwestern and eastern Asia. The genus is named after the Italian nobleman Filippo degli Albizzi, who introduced it to Europe in the mid-18th century."


Have a wonderful weekend whatever your weather! Our heat continues: 31C today, like yesterday... but next week it will be going up to 36C/96.8F
and I won't know where to put myself to keep cool.
