Weekly Challenge #38 - The End and a New Beginning

In some plants the flowers appear at different times and we get to see the many stages of their growth,
like this Silk Tree / Mimosa Tree / Pink Acacia / Albizia Julibrissin
Here we can see the newly opened rounded pink fluffy heads.
Then the aged ones slowly browning and dropping to the ground.
But we can also see the new flower heads not ready to open yet.

QUOTING J.Scott Coile - thanks Scott
