Posting #3 is Bauhinia, probably Bauhinia acuminata, which does grow in the Philippines, though there may be other species in the running, or even cultivars, if it was planted in a park.
Compare your last photo (the white flower with yellow stamens) with the "Botany Photo of the Day" on the left of your screen??????? barb
The Photo of the Day Sanguinaria canadensis photo is not going to stay there forever, so I'm adding a link to it. It was interesting how similar the flowers looked, but the leaves are quite different, and the query was from the Philippines, so just a funny co-incidence. Sanguinaria is in the Papaveraceae family; Bauhinia is Fabaceae. That's what's funny - that two flowers that look so similar would be from such different families.
I think Barbara was comparing the Zephyranthes candida... pic 4, with the Sanguinaria. Botany photo of the Day. Not the Bauhinia in Fabaceae. Scientific classification e Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Monocots Order: Asparagales Family: Amaryllidaceae Subfamily: Amaryllidoideae Tribe: Hippeastreae Subtribe: Zephyranthinae Genus: Zephyranthes Species: Z. candida
Ah, thanks for correcting that. I looked quickly, read "first" instead of "last", thought I might have had it wrong as I was running out the door. Still different family.
