Smoke Tree 2

I'm fascinated by the pink-purple flowers of the smoke tree. Cazzi compares the blooms to candy floss- I like that!

A lovely capture of the pretty pink flowers they do look like Candy floss which as a child I used to love.

Fab photo! I've seen a few more of these trees around where I live recently and they all have red leaves. My tree has green leaves and pale pink candy floss 🙂

@serendypyty That's really interesting, Cazzi! You have made me take notice. So these blooms are from a tree with red leaves. But today I saw another smoke tree with green leaves, and its blooms were much paler. I think this merits more research :)
