Yet another sure sign of Springtime in St. Petersburg is the crimson show of color put on by the Kapok tress around the city. This is not one of those trees that you see on every block, but there are several of them located throughout St. Petersburg, and if you live or travel in an area that has one, you’ve surely seen these beauties at their best. I just couldn’t resist posting this one, located on the grounds of the Museum of Fine Arts in downtown St. Pete. (please click on the photo for a larger view)

This is a beautiful tree, as are many others along Beach Drive.
I visited the tree area today with relatives and many times in early Spring..
when in full bloom..
Suggestion… I think a small sign or some sort of intenification for the Kapok
and Banyon trees would be great help to visitors to our beautiful downtown area.
