Re: Silk Floss tree in flower
Thought I'd throw this in for your amusement.
I took my kids (9 yr old son, 7.5 yr old daughter) to the local
botanical garden one day (or maybe it was the San Diego Zoo), and
there were several silk floss trees. My son, the expert, informed me
that the ones with those huge studs on the trunks were the males and
the ones with smooth trunks were females.
He said that "everyone" knows it's true... My daughter agreed wholeheartedly!
Nan
PS I was actually amazed that they had the concept of male and female plants!
