I am not a professional nor an expert in Malvaceae taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. I only ship to the main 48 States. I do ship in the winter. I have 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. No international shipping. Please read the front page for ordering information. Please list the name, number and price of the plants when ordering.
Please Note: All of the plants listed below where are taken outside in the spring to grow in full sun, rain and any other weather that comes along. Some of these plants have been pruned, some have not. They are pruned in the Spring for them to have bonsai look. Plan on doing some wiring of the branches and main stems to add to there shape. These can be grown in the ground in frost free climates. These were taken outside the second week of May, 2023. As of May 25 they have really started to leave out.
Listed below are front and back photos of each plant.

Ceiba
aesculifolia ssp. parvifolia Cepar28 -
The seed came from my friend DM that he collected when he was on of his trip.
These have been grown and pruned to keep a bonsai look. This is a majestic
tropical tree to 50 m with stout buttressed trunks bearing branches armed with
conical prickles. Its flowers are off-white to pink and are followed by large
oblong fruits that split open to reveal pea-sized seeds embedded in a cottony
mass. Of tropical American origin, the tree is now widely cultivated and
naturalized throughout the tropics. The species has a long and varied history of
use. The wood is soft, spongy and so not particularly useful as timber, but
whole trunks can be hollowed out for dugout canoes with a capacity for 40 or
more people. The cotton surrounding the seeds is known as kapok and is useful
for pillow stuffing. One of the more intriguing uses involves the buttresses,
slices of which are large enough to be mounted on hinges and used as doors. One
use that has not as yet been widely realized is as a container specimen in
succulent collections—the plant is sufficiently drought tolerant and prickly
enough to look the part. Containment will keep the growth to a reasonable size,
and, as with the related Chorisia, the swollen roots can be gradually exposed as
a caudex. Mexico. Growing in a 6" pot. Cepar28 @ $30.00.
