The Hong Kong Orchid, Bauhinia blakeana is a gorgeous tree while in bloom has a unique branching structure like no other. Hong Kong Orchid trees create a rounded and umbrella-shaped canopy composed of 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 is a medium to large shade tree that fits well in almost all landscapes. They grow 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 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. 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."
