Beautiful flowers

Does anyone know what you call the tree that bears these beautiful flowers? The tree is out the back of our house in the common area and is covered in these gorgeous flowers.

We have Hibiscus unless it’s a different variety. It’s a huge tree.

It's a Kapok tree. If you "google" Kapok tree flower there's an image identical to yours.

Thank you so much janjan and Sharonspain. It is the most gorgeous tree and I am so lucky to have it growing beside me. I pick the flowers and have them floating in a nice glass bowl. It looks like both of your suggestions so I’m not sure which one is correct. I must have a look at the trunk tomorrow.

I dont think it is a frangipani. I grew up in Zambia and we had frangipani trees and they were different to the ones in the photo posted.
