Susie, that is absolutely gorgeous. You are so fortunate to live in a climate that has flowers in mid-January. Thanks so much for sharing.

That's out of this world, SusieQ. What type is this one? I'm nursing a Phalanopsis on my kitchen window. I 'd like to try another variety. Thanks for sharing.

hi guys. if i am not wrong, this is actually a tree. found it in taiwan when i was there, and then later on when i visited hong kong. it's really the flower on the hong kong flag (if they have something called a flag).
the tree/flower is Bauhinia blakeana (in hong kong) or just search for bauhinia on google and u will see all kinds.
i was looking for seeds, but i figured in cold-wintered romania, i'd need a big greenhouse to actually have such a tree flower.
NICE ONE!
calin
