The Orchid Tree grows to approximately 10m tall in the warm climate, and 5-6m tall in the cooler climate. It has large, fragrant, white,pink, purple flowers. The flowers resemble the flowers borne on orchids, which is where the common name originates from, and are absolutely stunning. Flowers are followed by seed pods of up to 30cm long, which contain several seeds. Leaves are large and shaped like a butterfly. The Orchid Tree is native to Asia, and it is the emblem of Hong Kong.
