These sets of photos of Tabebuia chrysotricha, known as Ipê-Amarelo (Yellow Ipê), where taken by me near my house. Tabebuia is a genus of about 100 species of large shrubs and trees in the tribe Tecomeae of the family Bignoniaceae. The species range from northern Mexico and the Antilles south to northern Argentina and also Brazil.
Many species are dry-season deciduous and flower on leafless stems at the end of the dry season, making the floral display more conspicuous. The bark of several species is used medicinally. The wood is used for furniture, decking, and other outdoor uses. (Deciduous means temporary or tending to fall off).

a blaze of golden color ... they are so like our forsythia ... though our shrubs are much smaller. Brazil is beautiful!
Sonia,
I love the golden color of these trees. I agree they look like forsythia but yours are much larger!
((hugs))
I saw trees similar to this in Hollister, CA. The yellow is so intense! Thank you for sharing.
BEAUTIFUL!!! THanks for always sharing such lovely photos. I always feel like I have had a mini-vacation in Brazil after visiting your posts.
Blessed be...
Golden Trumpet. Perfect name is it not? Yellow against blue = one of my favourite colour combinations.
Thankyou S.
What a BEAUTIFUL Tree, Sonia...I'd love to see the blossoms up close, just cause I'm a nut that way! (lol) They grow High and Low, too! At least it looks that way in that last picture....or is it the angle of where you were standing?
Just Beautiful!
Lovely trees, so colorful and bright! That water is so pretty in the background too.
Another interesting post Sonia!! Thanks!
What a beautiful, yellow colour. Happy autumn.
I love any yellow and blue photos...those are nice!
When your blog photos popped up on the screen, I thought you were visiting New England! The Golden Trumpet Trees remind me of trees in autumn where I live. They are beautiful! Wispy & yellow...
Gorgeous!
I love all of your photographs!
Blessings
They are beautiful, Sonia, just like all the other flora in your area.
Beautiful pics Sonia.
Your trees are so colourful and you live in such a beautiful place.
Your photos make me want to visit. It seems so beautiful where you live!
Thanks so much for the kind comments, everyone!

Fica ao lado da AABB em Avaré.
Aquela região é muito linda...
Parabéns pelas fotos...são lindíssimas...adoro paisagens e pôr do sol...
What beautiful trees ... they remind me of our wattles (acacia). Wonderful photos.
Hope your week is going well.
Take care, Meow
Oi, Sonia!
Cheguei ao seu blog pelo Google (estava procurando um texto sobre "pitangas" em inglês para as pessoas que não lêem português).
Gostei muito do "Leaves of grass", você mora em um lugar lindo! Irei colocar seu blog no meu link de blogs permanente no Kafka na praia. Também gosto de fotografar árvores, paisagens e plantas, tenho fotos de ipês em um outro blog, o "Nos quatro cantos do mundo".
Beijos!
I have heard deciduos all my life and really had no idea what it meant! I love the photos....as always!
Hope you and yours are doing great!
i was just going to say there like our wattle so i agrre with meow
You have some wonderful trees in your part of the world! These are glorious photos (such color!) and I also love the ducks on the water below. Thanks for sharing your lovely area Sonia.
Well I'll hardly be original saying this but wow what lovely bright trees!
Esses ipês amarelos, são símbolos da nossa flora brasileira...
Quando faço minhas viagens à Minas, vou apreciando a paisagem desse nosso imenso Brasil...o colorido é inexplicável, cd época do ano há uma coloração diferente, mas a época dos ipês, não tem nada que se compare a beleza dessa nossa terra tão querida...
Sonia, obrigada por adicionar o meu blog à seus links.
Quero colocar tb o seu e de outros amigos, no meu link, mas estou aguardando a vinda do meu filho, aqui em casa...pois ainda nãos sei fazer isso...he!he!...mas chego lá...
Beijos no coração...

Ola, fiquei impressionado com a quantidade de ipês plantados na orla da represa.
Vcs. que plantaram ? Que lindo!!!
Wow your yellow trees are just gorgeous!
Oh my goodness those are some beautiful yellow trees. I don't think i have ever seen any that pretty in that color. Very nice also love the landscape.
