Flora Picture of the Year 2012 – Aarti Khale: sharing my ‘Flora Picture of the Year 2012’. 
Bauhinia galpinii, commonly known as Red Orchid Tree, Red Bauhinia or African Plume originates from South Africa.

This Bauhinia has been identified by me from Flowersofindia site.
Seen in the beautiful Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, Bangalore on 15/4/2012.
It is more like a shrub.
Lalbagh is full of surprises, you seem to find new flowers & trees during each visit.
