Yes, the azaleas are beautiful, as are many of the other spring blooms. However, there is one spring bloom that stands above all the rest - the Tabebuia (tab-eh-BOO-yuh) tree. Jeff and I call these trees "Tabs" for short. The past few weeks, the tree canopy in our neighborhood has been glowing with the pink and yellow blooms from this tree. We don't get fall color here in FL, but the Tabebuia trees give us plenty of color in the spring! I took a few pictures of tabs in our neighborhood (below). The above photo was taken at nearby Leu Gardens. 
The flowers littering the grass are almost as pretty as the tree itself! There are some areas that are completely covered by these blooms. 
In the photo below, you can see the blooms from the yellow tab followed by the blooms from the pink tab in the background. Unfortunately, we had some very windy weather before I could get out to take a picture of the pink tab. The wind blew off most of its flowers. 
I may have to talk to a landscape architect that I know to see if a Tabebuia tree will fit into our landscape plan! I would love to have one in our yard.
