Day 87



Pseudobombax Ellipticum

Shaving Brush Tree

Native from Mexico to Guatemala it's common name clearly comes from it's whimsical spray of flowers that look like pink shaving brushes.  The tree is used for firewood as well as carving wood for crafts sold throughout Mexico and Central America.  
This one is definitely a show stopper.
