Desert blooms

On our walk yesterday, I saw these dainty flowers along the side of the road between the trailhead and where we parked our car.
lovely shot. Curious about the species?

@ankers70 Dear Suzanne, I like taking pictures of flowers, but I am not very well versed in what species is which. That said, the site https://identify.plantnet.org/ says that this is a Calliandra eriophylla Benth or Fairy-duster with very high probability. I like this site as you can just upload a photo and within seconds it tells you what it thinks it is as well as a level of confidence in that estimate and other information about the flower. Thanks for your comment!! All the best, Mark

Lovely composition, great colours in the bokeh and an interesting bit of wilderness. I like flowers that have a bit of ‘messiness’ to their form.

Love the name "Fairy Duster" - seems quite fitting.
