The Hong Kong Orchid, Bauhinia blakeana is a beautiful tree that is not only gorgeous in bloom but when it is done blooming its branching structure is like no other. As its name states, Bauhinia blakeana originates from Hong Kong as far back as 1880 and was regularly cultivated in gardens as early as 1914. Hong Kong Orchids trees create a rounded and umbrella-shaped canopy composed of extremely large butterfly-shaped, vibrant green leaves contrasted on light grey to nearly white branches that arch and spread outwards to create an elegant display. Hong Kong Orchid trees are medium to large shade tree that fits well in nearly all landscapes and grows extremely well from coastal Southern California to the arid regions of the Southwest.

Prized not only for their beautiful foliage but for their abundant blooms in early spring fall and early winter. These large six-inch blossoms appearing in multiple shades of purple, pink, and rose throughout the bloom cycle add explosions of color to any landscape. The greatest thing about these blooms is that they are sterile which makes them great for people with allergies as well as they do not turn to seed pods like other blooms, leaving less mess to be picked up. The outward spreading branches will begin to droop as the tree grows and is weighed down by abundant blooms. Bauhinia blakeana can be found as a single-trunk tree specimen or as multiple-trunked trees. Hong Kong Orchid trees work in nearly all landscapes and once established are considered a water-wise choice.

"Can't tell you how happy I was to find out from Moon Valley Nurseries that I coudl grow Orchids at our home! My parents owned a floral shop when I was younger and these were always my favorite flower in the shop. We had them plant 3 of these, 2 in the backyard and 1 in the front yard. They have been growing great since they were planted and we're super happy with them and the work Moon did for us."
