Right into my faves, Chris! This is just gorgeous! What a nice brek in the rain, too! Your framing is wispy & looks great with this flower! #9013040

Beautiful photo of a beautiful flower. Any idea what it is? #9013199

Thanks for the compliments on this one. On the last page of my gallery, there's another shot of the flowers & you can see the leaves, they fold in halves. Each year after it flowers it has large seed pods like a Broad Bean. It's a Bauhinia tree. #9013284

Thanks a lot. Any purple seems to be a favourite with most of my family. #9013326

Hey, Chris - we have a large Bauhinia tree in our front yard, and it has exactly the same-coloured flowers on it as this one of yours!! They're REALLY stunning when the tree is covered!! :o)

If you decide to plant it out though just make sure that it's not *too* close to the house, as the trees can grow to around 7m (or over 22')...but then you probably already know that - lol!! ;o)

I'll post an image of just one small section of the striking blooms on our tree a month ago!! :o) #9013486

What a gorgeous floral, Chris! Like so many of your family, I love that lavender color, and your choice of effects is great. #9090467
