Yellow Chorisia

This is a Chorisia (now Ceiba) hybrid combining C. speciosa, C. chodatii, and C. insignis.  The flowers open bright yellow, then fade to a cream color with maroon eye in the center.  They seem to have a much longer bloom period than the pink species.  This one blooms from about August through February or early March.
