Schizophragma integrifolium

A truly aristocratic beauty with fine, slender pointed foliage. This Chinese species is larger in all it's parts than S. hydrangeoides, with creamy-white lacecap flowers reaching up to 30cm across, and with the surrounding teardrop bracts up to 9cm long. Can be grown in sun or shade, but will flower best in sun, where it can reach 12m or more. Very, very nice.
