Powderpuff bud filaments unfurl in the warm morning sun

            Ah, wonderful to see filaments actually unfurling in front of my eyes! Tiny buds springing open. Filaments popping up and unkinking themselves to send stamens and pollen out to the sun. Out for insects and bees!

Powderpuff, Calliandra surinamensis, a medium-sized flowering tropical tree
