My picture of the year is of a tree rather than a flower.....Ficus Benjamina.
This huge tree is the largest seen by me at the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Peradeniya, Sri Lanka during a visit there in November,2010.
The entire tree covers an area of half an acre in the gardens and is
still growing.
It was amazing to see such a huge tree.
There are many more rare trees & flora in this garden.

This is pretty, and I got confused from the branching patterns..... I
think they have some how deliberately entangled the branches during
early stages.
But very nice and rare pic of this hude plant, which is usually seen
in gardens only.
