Hey, floss has many forms.
The silk floss tree is new to me.
There are some 60 ft specimens growing at the LA Natural History Museum.
Here's a small one I found with seed pods on a side street in Santa Monica.
The pods on the trees ripen and open to form a ball of silky floss:
In the fibers are small brown seeds:
In a few months, I hope to show some pics of what the seedlings look like.
