Cyndi, is your silk tree a Chorisia or the Albizia???  Just  curious.  I 
recently saw the blooms on a friend's Chorisia.  They are  amazing, definitely 
much larger and more open than the Desert Willow.   Pictures don't do the blooms 
justice.  I never imagined they would be that  large.

Bees  love them and I've seen a hummingbird there once or twice as well,
although  the hummers seem to like my silk tree better when it's in bloom.
There's a  desert willow at the Santa Barbara botanic garden that is just
enormous so  they can grow quite large under good conditions.
