How can I confirm that I've found a FERTILE Bauhinia x Blakena?

I have countless sprouts from what I think is a Bauhinia x Blakeana.

Data:
1. They are from a tree that blooms late summer into fall.
2. Flower color :
a. The four side petals are solid dark pink/light magenta with the center two petals displaying a white "throat."
b. Center top petal has the same edge as the other four, but has a dark magenta "throat."
c. During the flowering season the flowers are quite dark.
3. Number of stamens : 5
4. Number of veins in leaf : 10
5. Length of leaf stalk : 5 cm

Is there somewhere I can send a plant to be genetically tested to verify that this is truly a Blakeana?

Thanks,
CaroChel
