Actually it's a Chinese Orchid Tree. It started blooming a few weeks ago and will continue till April or May. These are different from Bauhinia variegata, the one that blooms in spring and makes messy seedpods. The Chinese Orchid Tree is sterile, no seed pods. I have tried and tried to root cuttings. I talked to my friend at a nursery and he said I was taking too soft cuttings and at the wrong time of the year. I'm going to give the cuttings another try next summer.
