Description

This photo is another take on one I post last year. ( "Golden Boughs" ) It is an upbeat image of the Tabebuia caraiba tree (or Trumpet Tree) and a positive way to start off the week. Thanks for stopping by! Olympus C3030z ----- Family: Bignoniaceae (big-no-nih-AY-see-ee) Genus: Tabebuia (ta-bee-BEW-ee-uh) Species: caraiba (ka-RY-buh) Height: 30-40 ft. (9-12 m) Tabebuia caraiba, Yellow Tabebuia, is a small tree from Brazil and is related to the flame vine and the jacaranda tree. This tree blooms early in the spring in South Florida. The foliage is mostly deciduous, they hold their leaves all winter then drop them just before blooming masses of yellow trumpet shaped flowers. The blooms last about a month. Spent blooms fall to the ground creating a colorful carpet beneath the tree. (from davesgarden.com)
