White Orchid Tree (Bauhinia acuminata) holds a special place. Often called the Dwarf White Bauhinia or simply White Bauhinia, this tree captivates hearts with its delicate, snow-white blooms that resemble the elegance of orchids—hence its name.The White Orchid Tree isn't a towering giant, but rather a modestly-sized ornamental tree or large shrub, growing around 2–4 meters in height. Its flowers are the highlight—five-petaled, soft, and often described as resembling butterflies in flight. They bloom generously from late spring through autumn, sometimes even longer in warm climates.Each flower seems like a whisper of peace—clean, white, and quietly dramatic against the tree’s bright green, twin-lobed leaves. The petals open wide like a star, and when they catch the sunlight, they almost seem to glow.
