Bauhinia blakeana ( orchid tree )

Bauhinia blakeana ( orchid tree ) (Bauhinis blakeana.)

This one I planted myself. As a tiny tree it flowered almost immediately. Beautiful flowers, mauvy pink. But as I mentioned before the stupid thing died on me. Weather I loved it too much and drowned it or fed it too much fertiliser I will never find out. But it shed all its leaves and would not come back to life. In the end I just dug it up and saw its roots were dead. Mystery anyway, lol.
