The silk floss tree (Ceiba speciosa) originates from Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Its trunk is bottle shaped and studded with thick, sharp conical prickles to defend itself. Most likely against wild animals from climbing the trees, or against fish that come up with flooding waters from eating the bark.

Did you know that there are trees that grow butterflies? No? There’re not. 🍃 It’s closing time at our garden, and as the days get shorter, these Dryas iulia species start their bedtimes earlier every day. ✨Good night butterflies, see you tomorrow.
