Bauhinia variegata are blooming well this spring (despite cooler than normal weather, up 'til this week). This street tree planting (Chapman Av in Garden Grove) has some decent specimens, though nicer ones can be found in private yards. Sadly, copious seed pods will soon replace the flowers...

And an older pic of some of the variability of the flower color within the species:

SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

Neat! Thanks Ken. I've grown a few of these from seed and have planted them out in my canyon. No flowers this year, but maybe next year.
