Iliterate people refer to them as bahuinia(I think this is a purpurea one but I wouldnt bet on it since there are over 200 types of bahuinia) but most scientists refer to it as Kjas as Vigilans pointed out

OK, I'll carry on with some more of my photos from Bedford:

Statue commemorating Bedfordians who fell in the Second Boer War:

The pews in St Paul's Church:

After that, we slowly walked back to the bus to go back to our hotel and get something to eat.

On the day we left, I took some photos of the buffet. Unfortunately, during the weekends all the hot food disappears and the spread becomes much more limited, with only cold foods being available.

Photos of the buffet:

Quite! :lol: :lol:

Anyway, the last couple of photos from this trip are taken in the town of Stony Stratford. After checking out of the hotel, we made the trip north, stopping in this charming little town along the way. Lots of pubs here, amongst other things.

Photos of the High Street:

This is a piece of graffiti on one of the walls - it's a likeness of Marilyn Monroe:

And information about one of the town's pubs on this plaque:

And the pub itself:
