Ipê amarelo num céu especial, Yellow Trumpet Tree and a nice background, Paramaribo, Suriname

            SN/NC: Tabebuia Chrysantha, Bignoniacea Family

A colored detail of this incredible yellow show of the nature named tabebuia. Tabebuia chrysantha (Araguaney or Yellow Ipê), known as guayacan in Colombia, as tajibo in Bolivia, and as ipê-amarelo in Brasil, is a native tree of the intertropical broadleaf deciduous forests of South America above the Tropic of Capricorn. On May 29, 1948, Tabebuia chrysantha was declared National Tree of Venezuela since being an emblematic native species of extraordinary beauty. Its deep yellow resembles the one on the Venezuelan flag.  It is also the national tree of Brazil, Paraguaya and El Salvador (in the rose version). It is one of about 100 species of Tabebuia. Chrysantha is derived from two Greek words and means "golden flower". Araguaney appears to derive from "aravenei", the ancient word by which the Kalina people (Caribs) designated this tree. Ipê, wood that is tough as nails, a Tupi word.  Check below an article of the Wall Street Journal about the increasing use of this wood in construction in the USA.  Wood That's Tough as Nails
What natural building material is highly durable, resists flames and doesn't float? It's ipe wood, a material that upscale builders and interior designers are increasingly incorporating into their plans. But density comes at a price.

What is it? Also called Brazilian walnut, ipe (pronounced ee-pay) wood is typically found in South America and some parts of Central America. It is one of the densest hardwoods available, three times harder than cedar. Ipe has the same fire rating as concrete and steel, meaning it resists flames much longer than softer woods, and is so dense that it doesn't float in water. How is it used? Because of its durability, ipe wood often is used outdoors as decking and siding. Inside, it's typically seen in flooring... 

Veel namen in het Spaans voor deze schattige boom. Ironisch genoeg noemen ze het in El Salvador Cortéz Blanco ... Ipê geel in Brazilië, Araguaney in Venezuela, tajibo in Bolivia, guaycán in Colombia, Ecuador en Peru enzovoort. Het is een hardhouten boom, een van de zwaarste ter wereld, die niet drijft en bestand is tegen vuur zoals beton of ijzer. Daarom is het zeer gewild voor gebruik in vloeren, die bijna onverwoestbaar zijn.

Muchos nombres en español para este lindo árbol.  Ironicamente en El Salvador la llaman Cortéz Blanco... Ipê amarillo en Brasil, Araguaney en Venezuela, tajibo en Bolivia,  guaycán en Colombia, Ecuador y Peru y así sigue.  Es árbol de madera dura, una de las más pesadas del planeta, q no flota, y resiste al fuego como concreto o hierro. Por esto es muy buscada para usos en pisos, casi indestructibles.

Nosso famoso ipê amarelo, q não precisa de maiores explicações.  Recebe diversos nomes diferentes em toda a América, mas todos reconhecem suas grandes virtudes de beleza e durabilidade.
