Bauhinia monandra, commonly known as the Pink Orchid Tree, is a medium-sized, fast-growing tropical tree that blooms most of the year, going dormant only in winter. Native to Madagascar, it produces vibrant, pink, orchid-like flowers with distinctive red-speckled throats that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Reaching heights of 15 – 20ft, this tree also features unique, bi-lobed leaves that resemble butterfly wings. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Bauhinia monandra is both drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it a colorful and easy-care choice for tropical landscapes.
