The bauhinia (Bauhinia blakeana, also known as the Hong Kong orchid tree) is a flowering tree which is grown in streets all over Hong Kong. It was discovered on Hong Kong's coast by a French missionary in the early 20th century, and was cultivated in large numbers on Hong Kong Island from then on.
洋紫荊花是香港街頭常見的花卉，二十世紀初由一位法國傳教士在香港海邊發現，然後在香港島大量栽種。
