Hi sweetie
They are very pretty....and they are not in danger of extinction.
I have slept on kapok mattresses as a child, but the fluffy kapok is no longer used for that purpose here. The trees just grow wild all over Northern Australia.
Hugs and a kiss...

Ces fleurs sont magnifiques, bien sûr je connaissais le kapok mais ignorai totalement la provenance.
Merci du partage!
