The Bombax tree is in bloom at mfastpete ❤️🌺 📍255 Beach Dr NE Each year, the gorgeous red blossoms are a sign of spring in St. Pete. It’s only in full bloom for a short time each year – so make sure you visit soon! FROM THE MUSEUM Planted in 1965 by the MFA’s first director, Rexford Stead, this towering beauty began as a humble three-foot sapling and now stands as a living tribute to the museum’s rich history. PS: This is your reminder to get yourself a little treat at cafeclementinestpete while you’re there 🥹🥐 #StPete #ilovetheburg #stpetersburg #MFA #artinbloom #kapoktree #kapok #Bombax #bombaxinbloom #attheMFA #ArtAndNature #nature
