Love that pen Eamonn is it Bauhinia or Bohemia? Mark.

Peter.


Bauhinia or Bohemia I have seen them labeled both ways in nurseries.
A horticulturist told me they were Bohemia or common name Hong Kong orchid about 25 years ago, He was the decent boss I have had.
Google said the scientific name is Bauhinia × blakeana, my books a all boxed up till we finish these curse renovation.:vangry:
