The Tabebuia trees (Tabebuia chrysantha) around campus were in flower a couple of weeks ago. These trees are in the family Bignoniaceae and are quite striking and beautiful when they flower. Since they are deciduous, Tabebuias drop their leaves and at this time of year, display a crown of bright yellow flowers. Right now, these trees are dropping all their flowers on the ground, making for an equally-pretty ground cover! There is another species of Tabebuia on campus (T. rosea) that produces pink flowers -- these trees are really gorgeous.
