Two or three years ago I bought a small orchid tree (Bauhinia purpurea) at the Mercer Arboretum's Spring plant sale. It's now about 15' tall and running rampant. I wish I had planted it in the yard instead of in the raised garden.Also known as the Butterfly Tree, Mountain Ebony, Geranium Tree, and Purple Bauhinia, the flowers are between 2" and 3" across and the tree is full of them. Lovely tree and seems easy to grow in this area.
