20121209-IMG_2472 Colors of  late Autumn and Winter.  The Bauhinia x Blakeana tree or Hong Kong Orchid tree is a late Autumn and Winter bloomer.   It is still early in the blooming season, as most of the bud clusters have just one or two blossoms open.  The lower bloom has dropped the flower petals, but retains the stamen, while the upper bloom retains all its petals.
