Please help me to ID this tree.

I found this beautiful tree growing in my neighbourhood in South West Florida. I have asked around but knowbody has been able to help me to ID this tree. Can YOU help?

Hello Elsa Kristen,

maybe it is a "red hot poker Tree".

I'd say it's Bombax ceiba.

Yes, Bombax ceiba, Silk Cotton Tree / Kapok Tree.
