Simbad, the kapok comes from Ceiba pentandra (Kapok tree) . The names are very similar so it is somewhat confusing.

El Ciebo is nickname here in Mexico of Erythrina (Coral tree) species
....as Delonix1 confirmed.

It is not so good close up. The flower itself is quite interesting. Thank you Pansypotter and Simbad for your comments.
