A tropical tree. It's seeds are released in what looks like a ball of fluff. Used to fill pillows etc, but not so much these days with the introduction of synthetic filler @charlotte

I don't sorry. To be honest Lin, I couldn't tell which tree they were off in the forest where I found them. They were everywhere on the ground, but they are definitely kapok @linfoster

I just it seeds in plastic bags to bring home @terrimclaughlin Wow, that's great, but I've never sent live plants through the post. I think soil would be banned from being sent here, so best not to include any, but yes, Moore it still is 😉😁💕
