Sir,
You may find it quite interesting that today i walked more than a km along a railway track in order to take these photographs of *Bombax ceiba*! We call it SHIMOOL in Bengali. The irony is that there is a SHIMOOL tree just about 200 mt away from my home. But it doesn't bloom when i keep a watch on it!
Species : Bombax ceiba
Type : plantation
Date : 28-Feb-2012, 1.24 p.m.
Place : Hooghly, West Bengal
Regards,
Surajit Koley
