I saw this tree in full bloom as I was driving along the carretera and promptly pulled over to photograph it. You’ll see more of it in the future. It was impossible to get a bad shot of this tree! Thanks, Judy Reeves, for identifying it for me. What a poetic name. I should have guessed its name!!!!
