Do you mean the Kapok trees? Chorisia speciosa

That's it! Thank you. A lot of them were in flower while we were there and
several were going over, so their flowering period must be long and
staggered. They're really beautiful.

Later in the year, the seed pods open , looking exactly like big
lumps of cotton wool.

Don't remember any of those, so we must have seen the 'going over' ones just
before that.
