What does the flower on the flag of Hong Kong represent?

A specially administered region currently under Chinese rule, Hong Kong was formerly a colony under rule by the British Empire. The five petals on the Bauhinia blakeana flower represent the five stars on the Chinese flag. The artistically rendered floral image itself promotes harmony in China's "One country, two systems" edict under which Hong Kong operates.
