19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Red Silk Cotton Tree (Bombax Ceiba) in bloom.
Once the leaves of the Red Silk Bombax Tree fall the beautiful, large, red flowers start to bloom. This year, while visiting south western Florida I would watch weekly for these trees to bloom. When they did I traveled to different spots just to see these vivid flowers on the trees.
