Sound the trumpet!

Apart from the bauhinias that I mentioned in my last post, another magnificent group of flowering trees that are in bloom at the moment are the Tabebuia or Trumpet Trees.

This pink one, Tabebuia rosea ,is in Brisbane's City Botanical Gardens but they are in flower all over the city.

And, if you are after a change from the pastel tones, there is a stunning golden version that I adore.
