Greenfields,
It's called kapok in Malaysia. However, the pod measured 6 - 8 inches and the fluffy cotton is used to fill pillows and mattresses.

I am pleased I could take you back to your childhood. There is so much that just slips out of our minds, yes?

Taps thank you
I am sure you would love to pick one up if you saw it on the ground, under the tree.

You have reminded me of my childhood days when I loved to collect the
cotton flowers.

Hi Greenfields...is it naturally red or did Monsanto have something
to do with it? And I agree with OFFBEATS...I'd love to see a pic of it.
