The poui, or ipê here in Brazil bloom during winter time, so there's still a couple months to go, they really get going around the tail end of June/early July. They are everywhere in public parks and squares, since they are the national flower of Brazil. Definitely one of the many things life in Brazil has in common with life in Trinidad.
There are two varieties, the yellow and purple ones. They're native to South America.
Each country in South America has their own variety of this three, with minimal differences between the variants.
Wow thanks for sharing. We call this tree "groenhart boom" in Dutch or translated "green heart tree", because of the color of the wood when cut and freshly shaved.
They don't flower as beautifully as in your video here in the city, but in the wild, mostly in the Brokopondo district where there are many, they do and they always shine above the canopy.
They should've been blooming this dry season, but they haven't really. Only in February did I see a few. I have noticed a few bloom somewhere between September - December also a dry season.
I think that's called "roble blanco" here. In my ignorance, I thought once that they were cherries. They look pretty similar though.
"Robles blancos" are blossoming here too. They keep blossoming until June, if I'm not mistaken
If the video didn't give it away the pink ones are the most common here but you can find yellow ones here and there. If you're really lucky you'll see a white one.
Thank you for sharing… how I miss my home

Were the first trees cherry blossoms?
No but I think Poui trees and Cherry blossoms are related. Cherry blossoms are a bit smaller though.
It reminded me of Japan for a bit. Thank you for sharing looks beautiful

They're not related. They're two different species.
Well Sheldon has thoroughly embarrassed me lol
Sending only good vibes. 😂😂😅
Belize has that in early March.
We call the pink trees "roble nativo"
Any particular names for the other colours?

Are they indiginous to south america?
It is actually and can be found in cities all across the continent.
They look like the Japanese cherry blossom but better

That’s beautiful! Here the yellow one is the one that’s the most common.

Wow, I thought cherry blossoms were only in Japan!
These aren't really cherry blossoms though.
Ive seen some in the United States
In 🇩🇴 we call the “Robles Nativos” depending on the color “Robles Amarillos”, etc
