The most beautiful of all orchid trees. The largest flowers, brightly colored. Winter bloomer. Very hard to find! These trees start flowering in very small size, when only 2-3 ft tall This medium size quick growing tree up to 20 feet tall, 25 feet wide, with thick, large (5-8" and wider) heart shaped, alternate leaves with 2 lobes and veins radiating from the base of the leaf. It may lose leaves for a short period after a blooming cycle. The beautiful display of orchid-like blooms makes the tree so desirable for the landscape. Wonderful deep wine-red or magenta bloom has a touch of white. The flower has five-petaled corolla and tubular calyx and is about 4-6" wide. The flowers emit a fine fragrance when it's warm and humid and attract many butterflies and bees. This species has the longest flowering season of all bauhinias from November to April-May. The flowers are believed to be sterile and will not set seed so the plant will not drop long pods as other orchid trees do. This is one of the reasons why it is so valued for lanscapes: the tree is not messy and won't create any maintanance work. Flowers can be cut and brought inside the house and put in a vase or a bowl with some water, they stay open for a few days.
