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.

The green pods were just starting to split when we were there so you only
just missed them.

Yes, a close-run thing! We saw lots of petals lying on the ground in the
streets and in the hotel gardens but equally, we saw many still in full
flower. They really are a wonderful sight.
