Ateo, I'm sure you are correct, but for scientific accuracy you should capitalize the genus and type the entire name in italics.

You're not gonna believe this but that plant/flower is a Shaving Brush Tree and is native to Mexico. Took me more than a week on the internet to learn
that.

Osprey is right. Pseudobombax ellipticum is the botanical name for Shaving Brush Tree---interesting family, the Bombacaceae, includes Baobobs, Balsa,
Kapok, Durian, and our own (California/Baja) Flannel Bush (Fremontodendron).

But as I remember during Clinton's inaguration in 1993 Hillary raised her skirt and said "read my lips; no more Bush".

Mexitron: Fremontodendron was moved from Sterculiaceae to Malvaceae per APG and the new 2012 Jepson Manual has it under Malvaceae... [sorry other
Nomads, forgive the little bit of taxonomic banter here...].
OK Nomads, it's safe again: Wow Blanca! What a crazy plant! Love it. I'm always amazed when I learn of some new and wild Mexican [mainly mainland]
native. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, cut a stalk off when the first flower opens and bring it inside. The remaining flowers open about one at a time and it lasts a week to ten days.
Really nice.
