"WHAT'S THIS?" WEDNESDAY XV - PINK ICING

The first time I saw this plant I was reminded of pink icing. It is growing along a footpath not far away and looks fabulous in full flower. I would love to know the name.  I showed the photo to a nursery person, who was unable to help. Can you?


[EDIT 8/12/11 - Many thanks to Florez Nursery for educating us on this one.  It's bauhinia corymbosa and of course, now I can see the resemblance .]
