Now for the quiz of he day: I drive by these two trees every day on my way to the gym and since they are in full bloom now, and I remembered to take my camera this morning, I got these shots. I know what they are but I'll let you folks guess for a day. Here is what you need to know: They are not common here. In fact these are the only two I know of in the area. They have bright yellow flowers , usually in June, and can be multi-trunked. They have a cousin that is more tropical and has red flowers. Tabebuias bloom in early spring and golden rain trees bloom in the fall so it is not either of those. OK, take your best shot.
