RE: Fruits of Mexico: Kapok, strange fruit growing on even stranger tree

in #nature7 years ago

Great photographs and post @phortun. I was trying to remember where I'd heard about the kapok tree before and then realised it was the fibres.

That stem and thorns looks a bit like a blown up rose stem! 😊

Sort:  

You are right, the stem does resemble a giant rose :) Honestly, it was not until writig this post that I found out the "fruit" is actually a kind of cotton :D
