I found a bauhinia forficata flower while walking at the condo. This Atlantic forest tree is known as pata-de-vaca (cow's foot) in Brazil, because of its leaf shapes.

Sunlit Bauhinia forficata flower with 5 pink petals and small leaves in cow foot shape in the foreground, with parking and condo street in the background.
