Bauhinia Corymbosa, this showy, tropical climbing plant smothers a trellis along my side garden and loves the hot, sunny spot.
Look closer and you can see why it has the common names of orchid vine and butterfly vine.

Oh, my, I looked up the tree and it is magnificent! This is a very pretty climber, does it need to be tied to a support or does it ramble happily on its own? And is it scented?
LikeLike
It just rambles on its own every where rampantly, needs heavy pruning every few years or it travels into the neighbours trees. No scent.

And the leaf shapes give it another name in Kenya which has 3 indigenous species of bauhinia the ‘camel’s foot’. It is indeed a lovely plant.

I pass one in a park when I bike to the shopping centre and it is just coming into flower. I must take my camera with me next time I go.

You may know the Bauhinia tree it is very common around here as a street tree and is a darker pink. This climbing variety is not so common.
