The Caribbean version of snow - the pods of the Kapok (Silk-Cotton tree) are just bursting open - the fluff can pile up in drifts some years! And some flowers and fruit again.
(does anyone know how to order the photos as one wishes? or is it random?)

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I know the first on is a bromeliad and I think I see leaves of one in the third picture but can't tell if the flowers are from it or something above. I'm guessing the latter. But those flowers are stunning! What is it? (If it were possible to share the picture on Fb, I'd like to share it with a friend who spent some time in Brazil and loves bromeliads. (Most of the ones I grow came from him.)

It is a pity that the photos cannot be labelled other than by writing on the photo. Easy enough with an app like Pixlr.

And exotic to my eye.
Wow, kapok. We had quilts and pillows filled with that stuff. Never know what it was.It was used as an inexpensive alternative to wool and down. A pretty plant!
