Spring is the season celebrating the beauty of Mother Nature. Bauhinia, is named Hong Kong Orchid, the flower of Hong Kong. The Bauhinia double-lobed leaf is similar in shape to a heart or a butterfly with a deep cleft dividing the apex. In Hong Kong, the leaf is known as " Clever Leaf", regarded as a symbol of wisdom, some people use the leaves to make bookmarks in hope that they will bring them good luck in their studies. Bauhinia is first discovered by a French Catholic Missionary in western Hong Kong Island. The first thorough scientific description of the tree was made by Stephen Troyte Dunn, Superintendent of the Botanical and Forestry Department, who assigned it to the genus Bauhinia in his paper of 1908. Dunn named the tree for "Sir Henry and Lady Blake", the former being Sir Henry Blake, British Governor of Hong Kong, from 1898 to 1903. Sir Henry and Lady Blake were thus thanked for their promotion of the Hong Kong Botanic Gardens.
