It's a Shaving Brush Tree, Pseudobombax ellipticum. More info here: http://rareflora.com/bombaxellip.htm

Thanks Suzie. It's actually a tree blossom. I'm not sure what the "real" name is, we've always just called them Powder Puff trees. This was taken near beside Lake Osborne at Lake Worth, Florida. I am always fascinated by them, and end up taking dozens of photos, just because they are so brilliantly colourful and so extremely unusual. Glad you enjoy it too!
