This is a beautiful Oxalis that is native to Mexico. It is a summer growing bulb and goes completely dormant in the fall.
Hard to get a good shot of this beauty because of surrounding vegetation and afternoon sun.
This closely resembles species of the genus Archontophoenix, but is much slower growing, waxy and elegant. New leaves are flaming red later fading to green.
Endemic to New Caledonia.

Photo shows off the beautiful Medinilla Magnifica species. This photo was taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden at 1:10PM on November 14th, 2021. These flowers often appear as pink and are native to the Philippine Islands. They can grow up to 8 inches tall and may stay as short as 3 inches. The species comes in the form of pink pedals with the inside having pink pods. These flowers, like many other plants, are considered primary producers because they produce their own food by utilizing the suns energy and thus start at the base of the food chain. The next level up would be the herbivores, which directly feed on these primary producers. Herbivores that feed on flowers like these include common ones like deer and rabbits, all of which can be found in Illinois. Plants produce their own food, specifically forms of glucose or sugars, through the process photosynthesis, which takes in the suns energy and uses it to convert CO2 and water into useable forms of energy (glucose). Plants like the Medinilla Magnifica also partake in cellular respiration, which uses the glucose made in order to gain energy needed to power metabolic reactions in the organism. The byproducts of respiration include CO2 and water, which are both reactants necessary for photosynthesis to occur, so plants are continuously cycling products and reactants in between both photosynthesis and respiration.
This stately palm is one of my favourites. It rather resembles an Archontophoenix but is far more beautiful. Aside from its beautiful silhouette and long lavender-grey crownshaft, the petioles and rachises are densely covered in attractive rusty-brown felt-like indument. It is the tallest palm species endemic to New Caledonia and at 25m towers over forest canopy. Visible from great distances from its habitat in a 10 x 17 km area in Col d'Amos and the Pam Peninsula ridge, 300-600m elev in NE Caledonia it grows gregariously on soils derived from schistose rocks. Rare in cultivation due to its slow growth and great dislike of low humidity but it is well worth the patience necessary. The largest and oldest specimen outside of NC is at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden. This species thrives in the moist windward areas of the Hawaiian archipelago but struggles in the semi-arid leeward areas.
I donated this seedling to the National Tropical Botanical Garden, Lāwa'i, Kaua'i.

I can't find much info about it online. Here's a bit from www.heliconiagarden.com/magnifica.html

Habe etwas länger gebraucht, um diese Blume bestimmen zu können. Gesehen im botanischen Teil der Wilhelma in Stuttgart. Diese wärmeliebende Pflanze kommt in den Subtropen vor und kann baumhoch werden.

I have used a little longer to be able to determine this flower. Seen in the botanical part of Wilhelma in Stuttgart. This warm-loving plant seems in the subtropics and can become tree-high.
