I thought folks might appreciate the study of plants rather than looking at half-nekkid women.

I don't know what it says about plant people, but I think we're in the same email chain somewhere along the way

definitely Ceiba. I don't know enough to know if it is the legendary kapok.

To me, the Ceiba is the most magnificent tropical tree in the New world. I saw them along the Rio Negro near Iquitos Peru, plank roots 2-3m tall and 10 meters long, the girth above the plank root perhaps 2.5 meters, the semmetrical trunk silvery with water and slowly tapering way, way up, projected far above the normal forest canopy, the Ceiba canopy opened like a giant umbrella, dwarfing the rain forest below. Curiously, the trees are deciduous, loosing all of their leaves and standing starkly naked with their great branches spread leafless over the forest. A tree God!

Someday I'll go back. The most beautiful forest I've ever seen, I want to see it again before it is all gone.

Them plants didn't survive all these years by accident . . . .
