Nightblooming tree

11 years ago

I'm in Australia NSW and have a evergreen tree in my garden that blooms at night. The white flowers open at night and fall off before the sun comes up. I can't find the name on the internet. I've read about the tree described by someone in Texas as well, so it's probably not native to Australia. Who can give me more information ?

I spent 2 days behind my computer, trying to find an answer on my question. And finally I got it. This tree is called a Chinese Doll, Serpent tree or Radermachera sinica.
Finally I know the name of this intriguing tree, so I thought I might as well share that knowledge with anyone that's also looking for it's name... :-)
