Anything that says for sure what species this is would help Ashish. I checked out some pictures of the flowers, yes they are beautiful. Maybe I should get one for my garden. :)

I think seeds of Bauhinia sp trees available in America and its not costly. Trees and shrubs are great to observe in their flowering season....

Unfortunately Ashish, this is the only time I've seen this tree here. It was at Disneyland and they import plants from all over so there's no telling what species this could be based on location. There were no flowers on it at the time and I haven't seen any since so I don't think that's a possibility. I agree that this could be something other than orchid, but this picture of an Indian hybrid has the same shaped leaves.
