I still don’t know why the pinkish, reddish ones are more popular over here, but there you are – no accounting for taste.
Wow, I’ve never seen one. We certainly don’t have them around here.
Yep. Tabebuia caraiba.
Oh, thanks for confirming.
I still have a bit of a problem with classifying some of the plants and trees around here. That’s why I am so grateful for every park or botanical garden with little signs giving the name of the plants. But they don’t do that with trees just sitting there in front of a house.
What is that gorgeous tree? It looks like a bouquet of daffodils on a branch.
I have to hang my head in shame and admit that I do not know the name. But I will find out!
They are quite common around here, mostly with pinkish-red flowers; the yellow variant is rather rare.
What I love about these trees is their starkness, combined with those gorgeous blooms. They grow leaves, too, but much later.
Found it! It’s a Golden Trumpet Tree from the Tabebuia family.
