This interesting Bauhinia was my first sighting, recorded from Botanical Garden of Forest Research Institute, Dehradun.. this was very profusely flowering as well as entangling a tree.. I was lucky to have a flowering twig nearby for an otherwise very high up open inflorescnece.. Wanted to share.. Bauhinia anguina -the monkey's staircase or the snake climber... New Bauhinia for me and interesting.... specially the 4th picture.
