Bauhinia lunarioides (B. congesta)
The Anacacho orchid tree, while a delightful find at specialty nurseries, remains quite rare in Texas. You can spot it growing in the picturesque Anacacho Mountains just west of Uvalde and a couple of other small locations, although it’s more commonly found in Mexico. The tree showcases delicate leaves divided into pairs of oval leaflets and bursts forth with vibrant white or pink flower clusters that resemble orchids from March through May.
In Texas, this lovely tree naturally thrives in the rocky limestone canyons, favoring well-drained soils. While it’s winter hardy in Austin, those further north may want to plant it in a cozy, protected, south-facing spot, as some limbs might still be lost in particularly harsh winters. Its unique foliage and dazzling flowers truly make it a stunning addition, whether as a specimen or a container plant in smaller gardens.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
