More Bauhinia Pictures

Here are some photos I took of the Bauhinia I saw last December:





I'm still determined to get one if I possibly can, once I get my new fruit trees in the ground.

For more info on these, see my other post.

They are lovely trees. Do you know where they're selling, by chance?

I have no idea. :)

I saw one at Enchanted Forest a month or two ago, but wasn't ready for it.

By the next time I went, someone else had already grabbed it. :(

I haven't seen any others anyplace else yet.

I hate to be discouraging, but I just lost mine to the cold weather we had this winter. The trees were about four years old. If you plant them, make sure they are in a protected area as they are really tropical.

That's very interesting, Jan. How cold did it get over there? I have read that these can tolerate brief freezes, even down to 22 degrees F.

We didn't even get very far into the 20's this year. Last year was noticeably cooler.

These trees pictured in this post are still growing. I pass them regularly on walks, and have recently noticed a fresh crop of flowers. One tree is on the south side (I think) of a fence, but the other is quite out in the open. Both appear to be doing very well.
