Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

This is amazing tree. Easy to grow. Also as a bonsai (it was a surprise for me). I have in next to my house, that's why I have some seeds of this orchid tree. Let me know if you need. I live in Israel, but I guess it wouldn't be a problem to send worldwide.

[edit] Can anyone identify this?

Can anyone identify this flower? It's certainly some kind of bauhinia, and while I'm about 90% sure it's B. purpurea, I don't want to start using it on anything until it's positively identified. It was taken on 1 March on Lantau island, Hong Kong, if that helps narrow it down... — iridescent 19:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I think that's an Azalea. It doesn't appear to be a Bauhinia at all. B. pupurea has entirely pink flowers without any white. CalamusFortis (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
