Default Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?

'Well - these are not strictley in my garden but are everywhere and just gorgeous - the local name is Carolina, and they have realy girly flowers.

Your tree is called a Shaving Brush Tree in Florida. The fancy name that the whole world uses is Bombax ellipticum. We have some that are pure white in our area, I looked at some of the replies and they all seemed to be wrong. Hope I didn't step on any ones toes. It's a tropical tree that grows too big for most back yards.
