Botanical Nomenclature: Ceiba speciosa, Chorisia speciosa Common name: Kapok tree, Bottle tree Family: Malvaceae Port: Height 3 m maximum in pot, 10/12 m in soft outdoors. Flowers: Splendid pink and white flowers. This original and highly exotic tree is ideal for quickly creating a tropical effect among your plants. He will not fail to attract comments with his green trunk with large round spines and beautiful white and pink flowers covering almost bare branches. A tree with many advantages whose decorative use is its main interest. Ceiba speciosa (formerly Chorisia speciosa), also known as a tree-bottle, is able to grow in a temperate zone during mild winters. In the region of Bormes-les-Mimosas, some beautiful subjects flourish in nature. An adult tree is indeed able to withstand gels of the order of -5 ° C, even if the foliage is damaged from -1 ° C. In its natural habitat, it easily reaches a height of 30 m, but in culture it will have a dwarfed port due to the diameter of its pot, limiting its growth to plus or minus 3 m. In open ground, in mild climate, it can reach 10 to 12 m. It is a semi-evergreen deciduous foliage, fast growing and slender at first, then slower when it becomes massive. Considered a succulent, long classified in the family of baobabs (Bombaceae), it is now part of the family of Malvaceae as hibiscus. Its pale green leaves, alternate and webbed, are composed of 5 to 7 lanceolate leaflets, slightly toothed, 10 to 12 cm long petiolate. The solitary flowers measure about ten centimeters in diameter. They have 5 stellate petals on a staminal tube long style, are pink to red with a white heart stained brown in the center. They grow in the axils of the leaves in early spring. The fruits, inedible, are pear-shaped green, pendulous, similar to avocados. They measure 20 cm long. As it matures, the inside of the fruit is surrounded by a brown envelope containing the seeds protected by white silky fibers, as for baobab seeds. This tree likes all types of deep and well-drained soil, rather acidic and humus. A very bright exposure is essential if it is grown indoors. In the open ground, be careful to reserve for him a place as pleasant as possible, without wind and sheltered from the cold.

Julia Whitney Barnes uses the power of natural light to craft her floral cyanotypes. She is indiscriminate in selecting specimen, gathering everything from weeds to cultivated flowers. After posing and drying her subjects, Barnes builds her compositions on the surface of her photo-sensitive paper. Barnes also integrates watercolor and digitally-rendered negatives into her ethereal scenes. The final product is a mélange of techniques, shapes, and colors that is at once familiar and extraordinary. Julia Whitney Barnes has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally. She was awarded fellowships from New York State Council on the Arts administered through Arts Mid-Hudson, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Abbey Memorial Fund for Mural Painting/National Academy of Fine Arts, and the Gowanus Public Art Initiative, among others.
