Acacia Blossom in Bohol island


I have to accept once more that I had no idea about the name of this flower. First time I had seen an acacia blossom flower.

I found it while walking in Bohol Island, Philippines. November 2008.

It seems to be the Flower Name Game.
I've come to enjoy.

The Japanese name is "nemunoki"

Well,
if there are some faults.
Please padon me.
I'm not good at English.

Thank you very much for your kindness.

Dear Tomoe,
i found the name of this flower precisely on a special site for Filippino tropical flowers: http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/beautiful_tropical_flowers/acacia-dsc07698.jpg.html

It could be a mistake but it seems the same flower they put on the site's pic: acacia blossom

So, maybe there is another name of it... (?)

As I've read in Wikipedia, the name in Spanish is "Acacia de Constantinopla", and the name in Englisk is "Silk tree"... so it is possible that Filipino people call it as Acacia blossom...
It is also named "Acacia julibrisin"... so maybe none of us are wrong, it is still the same flower.
