Fascinating that the leaves are used for cooking! Not all Bauhinia are fragrant, there are many varieties,,, I haven't experienced them all, so there are future treasures to anticipate!

Our lives are so enriched with plants, wonderful associations as for the Dudleya: I have not tried to propagate brittoni, I buy it from nurseries which I think often grow them from seed, which takes some careful patience because they start out tiny and slow.

That's fascinating, how the virtues of this plant keep giving and giving!

the Mexican Redbud (Cercis canadensis var. mexicana) and Eastern Redbud are closely related trees, but there are some key differences: Size: The Mexican Redbud is typically a smaller tree, growing 10-15 feet tall, whereas the Eastern Redbud can reach 20-30 feet. Flower Color: The Mexican Redbud has darker pink flowers compared to the Eastern Redbud's lighter pink blooms. If your small tree has dark pink flowers that bloom before the leaves emerge, it's more likely to be a Mexican Redbud! Most of the Mexican Redbud have a wave to the leaf (not flat). There are several types of Redbud sizes and colors. Take a few photos and reference with a local nursery. Happy gardening!

@kobyhall thanks so much for that information! I'm super excited. Just Bought this property. And enjoying some of the trees. and loved the color when it bloomed!

It can take light frost, but prolonged frost will start to damage the tree. (this is not a plant that survives in a snowy environment). It's sub-tropical.

To be full like that takes a few years to naturally fill out. Also depends on on how full it already is, from the grower. Start with 5 plants, or more if you're willing.

Probably at least 3, depending on how full the plants already are from the grower. Each plant clumps out, next to itself and slowly gets bigger over time.

Thanks Jim.

Delectably delightful.

Yes, it is the variegation (more than one color) in the flowers -that makes up the 'variegata' part of the name.

Ask your local garden/nursery center, or an Internet search for plants or seeds. Happy hunting!

Thanks Susi, glad to share the joy.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Susi!

A cutting would be iffy and challenging (I don't have experience with this specific plant). If you can't get plants at a nursery, try: online order, or seeds.

Yes you can . I feel air layering is the best way.

This is a small, perennial plant best suited for Mediterranean (wet with long dry season) climate. Hopefully it is a good fit!

@@KobysGardenAlchemy Thank you.

This is a small, perennial plant best suited for Mediterranean (mild, short wet season, with long dry season) climate. Hopefully it is a good fit!

Try: your nearest professional nursery or ask if they know of another nearby nursery; Type the plant name and nursery into a web search - that may also show what nurseries have availability and or may ship live plants, communicate that with them for details. Best regards!

You do not have to trim it the plant, it has a natural bushy loose shape to it, if there are eventually some dried/dead flower tips you could lightly trim those off. it doesn't require much maintenance.

How do you remove the seeds from dried flowers?

Myriad reasons it may not seed: may not have the right pollinator or varying water levels or the climate might not be to its liking... Enjoy the flowers.

Yes.

@@KobysGardenAlchemy thank you

Convergent (look alike) evolution is amazing - isn't it. There are other differing plant (and animal species) that occasionally do this also. This video name is properly attributed.

Thanks Beryl

You might find a seed supplier on the internet; type "Bauhinia variegata seeds" into your search engine. I hope that helps.

@@KobysGardenAlchemy thank you so much

@@KobysGardenAlchemy what other fragrant plants you can suggest which would florish in tge tropics?

You sure its this particular variety with scented flowers? If yes which part of Jamaica I'm in Barbados I'd love to get some seeds.

@@geriannroth449 it is identical to the one at my workplace. I am trying to propagate it so I can have the plant at home.

@@marshabuchanan-allen2606 oh Gosh I need some seeds I have the standard ones NO FRAGRANT FLOWERS on mine but they're treat for the pollinators bees &hummingbirds. If you pm me I'll give you my mailing address cost everything at me too

@@marshabuchanan-allen2606 Are the colour of the flowers of your the same as in the vid? Can you please describe the smell is it soft like baby powder or Frebreeze. I'm just so excited to add more fragrant plants to my garden but most Are not seed bearing they're propagated by cuttings.

I'm on facebook messenger & whatsap

I don't know. However, it needs a climate somewhat between Mediterranean and or temperate (not tropical, not consistently wet).

It is in a Large pot, about 24" (inches) wide, x 18" tall.

@@KobysGardenAlchemy Wonderful, thank you!

You don't "have to" dead- head. It will still bloom just as well each year. Because the old blooms from the previous year naturally dry up anyway. Light (minimal) trimming or edging is a choice.
