Pink tabebuia by danette

Pink tabebuia

Today, woke up not feeling well. It had poured down rain all night and I hoped to take an hour or two off. I noticed all my roses from yesterday had been knocked off by the storm. Then I noticed my Pink Tab tree was blooming a fair amount and the flowers were covered with water. Photo opp! First photo of the day turned out to work the best. I only took a few.
Never heard of this plant. Goergeous colors,love the rain drops.

It's a tree. Same family as the Yellow Tabebuia that blooms so beautifully in the spring. This one is far less showy. I have been trying for years to get a decent photo of a flower. They are typically a little too high but I was pretty happy with this one.

And I hope you're feeling better! :)

Beautiful and just love those two very clear drops on the edges of the petal. Hope you are feeling a bit better!

@clmiller It's a pretty and delicate tree. I like when it blooms completely before the leaves come out. Has only done that a few times.

@purdey the drops were my favorite. Thank you!

I probably will feel better tomorrow. I think it was related to my physical therapy. I will have to ask! Was an "off" day and my workout last night was off key, too. Thank you for your well wishes.

Poor flowers....but..it does make for a nice droplet shot. I like how the veins of colour shine through the damp petals.

@anden Thank you! I have taken photos of this tree and the flowers for several years and have never come up with anything else that I love. This was a first!
