Ceiba PentandraAlso known as: Kapok, Java cotton, silk cotton, samauma
Here is a deciduous tree that has the potential to become extremely large, reaching a height of over 200 feet, but more on an average of 30-100 feet. The straight, cylindrical bole can be 40-120 inches in diameter, is usually spiny, and have massive attractive buttresses.
It is native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, northern South America, and tropical west Africa. A very sacred, multipurpose tree with a wide range of uses for the local population. It is especially valued for its silky cotton fiber that is produced within its fruit, but also supplies foods, medicines and many other commodities. It has become naturalized in many other parts of the tropical world as an amazing ornamental and often grown as a bonsai.
The creamy white to pink flowers are an important source of nectar and pollen for honey bees. Its wood is lightweight and porous which is good for making carvings, coffins and dugout canoes. The silky fibers that disperse the seeds are too small for weaving but make great stuffing for bedding, cushions, plush animals and life preservers. Prolonged exposure to harvesting these fibers can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat.
The bark decoction has been used as a diuretic, aphrodisiac, and to treat headache, as well as type II diabetes. It is used as an additive in some versions of the psychedelic drink Ayahuasca.
The seeds produce a vegetable oil that resembles cottonseed oil, and is also used in soap and fertilizers. It does have some potential as a biofuel and in paint preparation. The seeds, and the oil, do contain cyclopropenoid fatty acids which cause abnormal physiological reactions in animals. Therefore the consumption of kapok seeds or seed oil should be discouraged unless the cyclopropenoid acids have been chemically removed.
It is intolerant of frost. Best sited in moist well drained soils in full sun. Water needs vary during the year. Trees appreciate abundant moisture during their vegetative period, but prefer much less moisture in winter during the dry season (December – February in southern Florida) when trees have lost most of their leaves or are deciduous. Flowers typically begin blooming in February near the end of the dry season, followed by fruiting. New foliage typically begins to appear shortly after flowering. USDA zone 10-12
**This is not to be confused with the RED silk cotton Kapok tree, that is from the genus Bombax, species ceiba. Both are from the family Malvaceae. We also offer the seeds to Bombax ceiba (Red silk cotton) here in our store.
This offer is for 15 seeds.

Yet another good read.
Format: Kindle
I love these mafia books. I’ve read all the series, and they’re all interesting and wonderful books. There’s violence, of course, and suspense, camaraderie, and steamy sex scenes. I hope there will be a sequel to Lone Wolf. If not, hopefully there will be more from this author. She’s written some great stories.

A Styx Syndicate Eccentric Story!
Format: Kindle
Ariadne/Sarah gets her chance. Not only to prove herself worthy of being on the Styx’s team but also to show she is capable of doing the things how the Styx Syndicate does it not what was inbred in her mind by Grandmother. That part has been hard and skipping therapy is not going to help. But when Lyssa & Scarlett bring back from the recent mission, a woman who was also under Grandmother’s control, things start to take a very different turn. Add to the mix, Sunny Santiago.
There is something about this woman that seems to get to her but she is not sure why and knows she must control her emotions. But Sunny has other ideas. She is a new recruit vying for the same role on the team. Sunny also can’t get Ariadne off her mind. Her control is impressive, her demeanor is stoic but she is hot and in wicked shape and Sunny just wants to break that tough exterior. Sunny has a mission of her own. But when they are teamed together for a mission, definitely a test by Ariadne standards, things happen. For one stupid moment, Ariadne lets her guard down and she finds herself in an uncomfortable position and doesn’t know why. Again we have the team back and probably getting ready for their toughest mission. Love this group!

Absolute favorite!
Format: Kindle
1st Iove that it is a standalone.
Duets kill me because the conflict in-between is so stressful. I just want happiness soon haha
I was hoping Katy would be the long lost sister...but I am so glad it wasn't what I thought.
Lyssa will always be my favorite in this whole damn universe. "Why the hell would I need therapy?" Hahaa gold!
I need more of your books. Sigh...I have read every single of of them. What a journey!

another excellent story
Format: Kindle
The author recommends reading her prior mafia books and I agree. With each book she builds on the saga, picking up where the last left off, adding new characters but keeping the old. This book has several stories woven in, but 2 strong and exciting new characters. The connection between these women is electric, the story dynamic and action exciting. I hope these tales continue!
