Bauhinia x blakeana (Hong Kong Orchid Tree) – This small tree grows to about 20 feet tall with a light gray smooth bark and an umbrella-shaped habit. It has rich rose-purple fragrant flowers with pink stamens; the flowers are larger than on other Bauhinia (5-6 inches in diameter!) and it flowers over a longer period, often starting in fall and extending to mid spring. It is also sterile so it does not set seed pods. This semi-deciduous tree can be drought deciduous in dry soils, cold deciduous in the event of a frost but even in irrigated warmer locations will drop some of its gray-green leaves in spring just as it begins to flower and can sometimes be seen in bloom completely devoid of leaves so that the flowers are even more noticeable. Plant in full sun and irrigate regularly. A great tree in fairly frost free areas with flowers that are very attractive to humans and hummingbirds and even as they drop, make a colorful groundcover.
