Description

Tecoma stans is a species of flowering perennial shrub in the trumpet vine family, Bignoniaceae, that is native to the Americas. Common names include Yellow Trumpetbush, Yellow Bells (Geelklokkies in Afrikaans), Yellow Elder, Ginger-thomas, and Esperanza (Spanish for "hope"). Tecoma stans is the official flower of the United States Virgin Islands and the national flower of The Bahamas. I posted an image of the 'seed pods' of this tree on January 29th and Andrea was keen to know what it was. A botanical friend identified it last weekend. I found this in my file of 'new' photos, hence the reference to Andrea! Enjoy Friday! Clive
