Welcome to Sky Watch Friday
Tabebuia chrysotricha (Golden Trumpet Tree) 
These sets of photos of Tabebuia chrysotricha, known as Ipê-amarelo (yellow ipê), where taken by husband and myself in my garden just this week. 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).

Golly. That is an amazing tree. The color is so vivid it looks almost fake. The Golden Trumpet Tree is really golden. I don't know a single thing about the tree so my question may sound like I dumber than a door nail but is the yellow a blossom or is that somehow the leaves?
ReplyDeleteThe sky is nice too and is a perfect foil for the texture of the trees.
Nossa!!!! que tesouro temos aqui.
ReplyDeletee assim, do ladinho da sua casa.
Uma paleta de ouro puro!!!!
Lindo.

ReplyDeleteOutra maravilha de Deus, D+.
ReplyDeleteTenho um ipê branco no meu jardim que após 12 anos, floriu pela primeira vez, apesar de sua altura de mais de 5 metros emitiu pouco mais de 1 dúzia de flores. Outras dúzia virão.

That's a beautiful tree against the sky. I also wanted to say that I think the Ecology Day is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tree, with that I almost forgot to admire this blue sky ! It's a long time I haven't been here. I remember when I started you were one of the first to read my travel blog. It's now already 3 years that I am blogging ! Time goes by very fast !

ReplyDelete"Louis" would add 'smile-inducing' to the description of the yellow flowers on these trees!
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful tree in full bloom. The yellow sets off so well against the blue of the sky.
ReplyDeleteThis could at a distance have been a photo in our park as our Acacias are also in bloom and are so like your tree in shape and colour.

ReplyDeleteTao impressionante quanto à beleza destas flores e da árvore, é a popularidade deste blog, ou seja, a sua. A árvore parece ser remanescente e não plantada apos a construção da casa, é isto mesmo?
