Which bauhinia

[Anand Kumar Bhatt]

A tree which has given a few flowers after one year of bringing from nursery. Grateful if you let me know which bauhinia it is: variegata, purpurea or blakeana.

Thanks

This is B. variegata. Rather broad petals, five stamens are clearly visible. Regards-- Ken Greby Palmetto Bay, Florida USA --- On Sun, 1/18/09, Anand Kumar Bhatt <anand...@gmail.com> wrote:
