Bauhinia sp.
A series (in reverse) showing the opening of an orchid tree's flowers, which are not orchids but superficially resemble them. "This is a very popular ornamental flowering tree in subtropical and tropical climates. It is from the family Fabaceae, native to southeastern Asia, from southern China west to Pakistan and India."
Growing as an ornamental in a semi-urban yard/garden in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
The 4th photo is from 6 August and the 3rd photo is from 8 August. More of this same tree can be seen in the previous spotting here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/817...
