🌱 Story of Purple Orchid Tree
I am a medium-sized deciduous tree known for my beautiful purple, orchid-like flowers. My leaves are uniquely shaped like a camel’s hoof. I thrive in tropical and subtropical climates and am often planted as an ornamental tree along roadsides and gardens. I bloom profusely, especially during late autumn and winter, adding vibrant color to the surroundings.
