Bauhinia variegata (pink)

This is Bauhinia variegata. This tree is very widely planted here in San Diego as a landscape, street tree, also.

LOL!!!

I can't be right besides my efforts... lol
Thanks for corret it.

Plant ID is very tricky...and lately many genera and species have been reclassified (which makes it a hundreds times more difficult).

Does Bauhinia x 'Blakeana' (Hong Kong Orchid tree) grow there? It has the larges leaves and flowers of any Orchid tree and is a sterile hybrid (it doesn't develop seed pods).

Hi Delonix,
I have no idea but have forwarded the link to my friend Fernando from Botanical Garden to find out.

Here's some pics of my Hong Kong Orchids tree pics:

Hi Delonix,
I sent the link and your question to Fernando, and asked him to join GOY :)

That's great! The more the merrier, so the saying goes. :>)
