I took this pix in Malaysia Botanical Garden. Until now no one has identified this flower for me. It's a thorny vine with no leaves at all. it looks alien to me
Mari, I found the name in Google. It's Cannon Ball Tree Flower and the scientific name is Couroupita guanensis.
"Origin from Tropical South America. It is popular in botanic gardens and a few larger private gardens because of its bizarre fruit. It is a very tall tree which sheds its large, elliptical leaves several times a year. The pinkish-red flowers grow directly from the trunk near the base of the crown and are strongly scented in the evening. Blooms year round. Flowers are followed by large, globular fruit, reddish-brown in colour, which do indeed resemble cannonballs and remain on the tree for many months. On older trees there may be dozens of fruits and flower clusters at the same time."
