Red Powderpuff/Today's Flowers #35

@ mirandablue
Spotted this spiky red flower by the road side in Laguna.  I didn't know its name until I searched on line.  It's known as Red Powderpuff, Blood Red Tassel Flower and Fairy Duster. It belongs to the species of Calliandra, a genus of flowering plants, shrubs and small trees native to tropical and sub-tropical regions of southern Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas.
