I think this is a bloom on a Bauhinia Tree.

They bloom around here in the spring, and look like an Orchid.

Probably everyone in Florida knows the name of this amazing flower but me...

---I'm still checking :)

 

Also called an Orchid tree, thanks to jciv and Margaret Jones :)

This beauty showed up this morning. Unfortunately it was dark and cloudy so not the best photo. Hoping for another chance on a sunny day.

Die Schönheit des Frühlings

Jasminum nudiflorum _ Winterjasmijn

 

After all the seascapes of late I thought my gallery could do with some drying out. And what better way to dry out than a trip to the desert.

 

This is the high desert and plateau regions of northern Arizona enroute to land in the Grand Canyon by helicpoter. (It may be the Mojave Desert, my sense of US geography isn't that great) It was truly magnificent to watch the landscape flitting away below us, the starkness of the land telling a story and showcasing the haunting beauty of this barren environment. So wonderfully different to anything here in Australia. One of my favourite sayings: "A desert is proof that beauty doesn’t need to be complicated."

 

I did say to the chopper pilot - “I’m dune my best to have a great time but please don’t desert me here!” ;)

 

Apologies for the image quality, it was taken from a helicopter in flight through a window.

 

Have a great week out there.

 

Thanks for all the kind comments , they are always greatly appreciated.

Brugmansia 'Pink Beauty' is an extraordinary hybrid of white and pink colors from the Sollanaceae's family,

The large pendulous blossoms, up to 14 inches, are a wonderful luminous dark pink with a vigorous and prolific bloom.
