In South Florida (USA), B. purpurea usually blooms late summer, into fall, hence its common name (here) as "Fall Orchid Tree". (B. purpurea will not grow in Southern California's Mediterranean climate.)
In Southern California, B. x blakeana (Hong Kong Orchid Tree) may start blooming in August, extending into the fall months. Curiously, it is a spring bloomer in South Florida.
