This is not Juda's tree as I thought earlier (Thanks to jonathane who correct my mistake)...

Here some info from Wikipedia:

Many species are widely planted in the tropics as "orchid trees", particularly in northern India, Vietnam and southeastern China. In the United States of America, the tree grows in Hawaii, coastal California, southern Texas, and Florida. Common names include Purple orchid tree, Hawaiian orchid tree, Mountain ebony, Poor man's orchid. Bauhinia blakeana is the floral emblem of Hong Kong, and a stylized orchid tree flower appears on the Hong Kong flag.

Hello Assi,

The pink colours gives a nice composition, I know very well how difficult taking of flowers, the details middle of the flower must always very sharpness have, maybe is this a little bit less, but this is a splendid idea.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Assi,
I like the effect sharpness of the flower bud with the fading towards the right. I Just want to add that this isn't a Judas tree but a bauhinia tree. It isn't native to Israel as is the Judas ('Klil Hahoresh'). Here's more info about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhinia
