Pink silk

I saw this tree in Antequera this morning when we went supermarket shopping.  Trying to indentify it through Google, I think it is called Albizia julibrissin, the Persian silk tree or pink silk tree. And according to wikipedia it is named after the Italian nobleman Filippo degli Ilbizzi who introduced it to Europe in the mid-18th century.  It really is rather lovely and doesn't seem to mind the heat. Close up in extra.
