Enjoy folks!

Sorry, Jim, I had to reduce the file size so those on a dial up did not
have to wait forever to see um....

donna has been kind enough to post three pictures i took of a local

bombax

[probably b. malabarcum, but who knows] in bloom. the bombax, a native

of

tropical asia is, oddly enough, deciduous. it blooms profusely at this
time
of year [before leafing out]. the flowers, which are borne in

clusters,

are
5" to 8" across and have that clear succulence of cactus and waterlily
blooms.
