Bauhinia variegata (Orchid Tree)

Bauhinia variegata (Orchid Tree)
Made by guzhengman
Common name: Orchid Tree 宮粉羊蹄甲 Family: Fabaceae 豆科 Sub-family: Caesalpinoideae 蘇木亞科 Origin: Southeast Asia Location: Lai Chi Kok Park a large upright tree with glossy deep green pinnate leaves and glorious orange scarlet flowers. It may grow to 80 ft (24.4 m) on an ideal site, but most specimens are much smaller. The tree has a stout, tapering, somewhat buttressed trunk covered in warty light gray bark. The lateral branches are short and thick. The 1-2 ft (0.3-0.6 m) long opposite leaves, which emerge a bronzy color, are massed at the ends of the branches. They are composed of 5-19 deeply veined oval leaflets. The horn shaped velvety olive buds appear in upturned whorls at the branch tips. A few at a time, the buds of the lowest tier bend outward and open into big crinkled red orange tuliplike bells with red streaked gold throats, frilly yellow edges, and four brown-anthered stamens in the center. They are followed by 5-10 in (12.7-25.4 cm) green brown fingerlike pods pointing upwards and outwards above the foliage. Each of these pods contains about 500 tissue papery seeds. The tree flowers in spurts all through the growing season, but peak bloom is usually in the spring. 'Aurea' is a rare cultivar with yellow to orange flowers and tends to be a smaller tree.

Another Busy Night In Hong Kong

Another Busy Night In Hong Kong
Made by Steve Webel
It still amazes how busy the streets of Hong Kong are, even late at night! I captured this shot in one of the residential neighborhoods known as Mei Foo (美孚新邨). It was the largest privately owned housing complex when it was first built in the 70's. (The 99 tower complex can house up to 60,000 people!) --- Camera: Nikon D80 Exposure: 10 sec (10) Aperture: f/14 Focal Length: 35 mm ISO Speed: 100 Exposure Bias: 0/6 EV ---
