The Purple Orchid Tree is an exotic tropical tree that blooms over a long period of time. The beautiful & fragrant, classic, Orchid-like flowers of Bauhinia purpurea makes this small tree, native to India, a favourite of many plant lovers. In fall, before the leaves drop, Orchid-Tree is festooned with many showy and delightfully fragrant, five-inch-wide blossoms, the narrow purple, pink, and lavender petals arranged to closely resemble an orchid. These flowers appear on the trees from September through November and are a beautiful sight to see, creating a vivid splash of color in the autumn landscape.

Bauhinia purpurea can reach up to 20 feet tall and have a 25 foot crown.
Based on attitude and climate conditions, the regions below 800 meters (26-25 feet) above sea level are suitable for dragon fruit cultivation. Dragon fruit While they are not very demanding in a specific soil type, pitahaya can have maximum growth and yield in well-drained, light soils (with a good amount of loamy sand) with slightly acidic pH (5.5-6.5) and rich in organic matter. Dragon fruit, like all succulents, is sensitive to water logging and suffers in soggy, wet soils. While it can be planted even in clay loam soil types, it will grow more poorly than in sandy or loamy soil. The reason is that clay soil is very heavy and holds too much water, and the roots of the dragon fruit can easily become waterlogged and rot in such conditions. In heavy, water-loggings soils, the grower can mix soil with sand or small stone gravel to facilitate drainage to avoid this problem. On the other hand, very sandy soils may require more frequent irrigations and fertilization with smaller amounts pe...
NEWS 16 March 2023 GPT-4 company OpenAI this week unveiled GPT-4 , the latest incarnation of the large language model that powers its popular chat bot ChatGPT. The company says GPT-4 contains big improvements — it has already stunned people with its ability to create human-like text and generate images and computer code from almost any a prompt. Researchers say these abilities have the potential to transform science — but some are frustrated that they cannot yet access the technology, its underlying code or information on how it was trained. That raises concern about the technology’s safety and makes it less useful for research, say scientists. One upgrade to GPT-4, released on 14 March, is that it can now handle images as well as text. And as a demonstration of its language prowess, Open AI, which is based in San Francisco, California, says that it passed the US bar legal exam with results in the ninetieth centile, compared with the tenth centile for the previous version o...
