TICKLED PINK BY THIS TREE....

Took a trip to the big smoke (aka Brisvegas) on Sunday and saw this beautiful tree.  I thought it was a cherry or plum from a distance so made sure to drive back the same way and stopped to have a good look and take a few snaps.
 After some research, have found it is called the pink trumpet tree or tabebuia impetiginosa.
 I might have to go and buy a tree for the yard.  Pink, pink and more pink.
 This bunch was from an adjoining tree which wasn't quite so pink but was closer to me so I could get a bit of a close up as I didn't have my good camera with me.

  2. I had never seen one before or perhaps thought it was something else if I had. They come from Sth America so perhaps they don't like the cold. Thanks for visiting...
