We saw this tree flowering near Churchgate station, Mumbai today morning. All credit goes to Dr. Usha Desai, who saw this tree in bloom while travelling in a taxi at 9 pm, requested someone on the road to get the flowers and identified them. thanks a ton , Usha. I have attached some more pics of the flowers, closeup of pollen, greeen bark and the serrated leaves. Scientific name : Ceiba speciosa Common name: Silk floss tree family: Bombacaceae Cheers, Shubhada "I am only one; but still I am one.
