Bauhinia variegata
Waxy leaves which join together to give appearance of a butterfly
Adels Grove near Lawn Hill
I couldn't get over these beautiful leaves which looked so much like butterflies
Unfortunately I live in Southern Highlands in NSW and many of these plants I love cannot be grown here :(
You are welcome, Kerry. I just got one small tree for my garden because I fell in love with it when I saw it in a friends Garden, can not wait till it flowers.... : )
Thanks Gilma. I'm not sure I'll be there for the flowers but I will keep an eye out for the plant again.
If you like the leaves...wait till you see the flowers!! They are just gorgeous.
Butterfly tree, Deer hooves, Orchid tree, Bauhinia. The leaves look like a butterfly and/or a hoof, the flowers look like Orchids. Gorgeous small tree.
