BAUHINIA BRACTEATA SSP. BRACTEATA

These photos were taken on 25 Jan 10 at HortPark's Home Garden and it showed an unusual Bauhinia bracteata subsp. bracteata.

It is a vine-like tree and produces light orangey new flushes of leaves but inconspicuous white spider-like flowers.

We had a hard time getting this plant identified for the longest time when we first had it! This same plant species was also planted at the Car Park Garden next to the high trellis.
