Description
The Orchid Tree (Bauhinia purpurea) is a deciduous tree growing up to 17 feet (5.2 m) tall. It is native to Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and widely introduced elsewhere in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. In the United States, this tree grows in Hawaii, coastal California, southern Texas, and southwest Florida. The young leaves and flowers are edible and used in the Philippine cuisine. In fall, before the leaves drop, the Orchid-Tree is adorned with five -inch wide and delightfully fragrant blossoms that closely resemble orchid blooms.
