Strange flower Shorea Robusta Roxb

Correction on name!

Couroupita guianensis....The Cannonball Tree.

Just got back from a three week cruise to Bangkok
Took this picture in Cambodia.

Have been sick with High blood Pressure..looks like I will have to be on tablets for the rest of my life. Feeling a lot better now.
Garden is a mess but I feel like doing some work in it so it should only take a week or so to get it in order. We have had lots of rain and things have really grown in three weeks.

Hugs

Couroupita guianensis - the Cannonball Tree

For some reason there are pics all over the internet of this identified as Shorea robusta.... weird.

This is S. robusta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorea_robusta

Gee,isn't this the tree that Cestum has or seedlings? It's stunning!!!!!!
