Macro Photography 📸 Red silk-cotton flower shot in the macro mode. Red flowers with 5 petals appear in the spring before the new foliage.It produces a capsule which, when ripe, contains white fibres like cotton. Its trunk bears spikes to deter attacks by animals. Although its stout trunk suggests that it is useful for timber, its wood is too soft to be very useful. It is also known as kopal or Malabar silk-cotton tree. #MyOwnShot 📸 ©️rocksg🎭✔️
