Ceiba speciosa (formerly Chorisia speciosa) - Floss Silk Tree Flowers

A close up of the many flowers on Floss Silk tree at Carlsbad Village, CA. in San Diego County. Photo taken on Labor Day (Sept. 3, 2012).

They look artificial, is that why it is called a silk tree?

I think it's called floss silk tree because of the kapok it produces. Kapok tree is another one of it's common names.
