LLILY TREE. FLOWERS OF MALAGA by JENNY RAINBOW FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY.
Those fantastic lily fowers I found on the trees in Malaga - Southern Spain. Have not been sure whar kid of species is it and made some research. So here is presented SILK FLOSS TREE or CEIBA SPECIOSA.
About Floss Silk Trees
Known almost interchangeably as silk floss tree or floss silk tree, this beauty may also be referred to as Kapok tree and is in the family of Bombacaceae (Ceiba speciosa formerly Chorisia speciosa). The floss silk tree crown is uniform with green limbs branching upon which round palmate leaves form.
Growing silk floss trees have a thick green trunk, slightly bulging at maturity and peppered with thorns. During the autumn months (October-November), the tree bares lovely funnel-shaped pink flowers that completely cover the canopy, followed by woody pear-shaped, 8-inch seed pods (fruit) containing silken floss entrenched with pea sized seeds. At one time, this floss was used to pad life jackets and pillows, while thin strips of floss silks bark were used to make rope.
