Cotton Tree (Bombax ceiba) Taipei, Taiwan

Native to the monsoon regions, cotton trees' large seed pods split to release seeds embedded in silky cotton to the wind.

Tall and thick, very few other trees carry the flowers as large and furiously orange as me.
When I bloom along the streets, I light the fire in the city.
