I had forgotten I was the one that picked this photo. I was looking at the all the pictures of it and thought how odd that the flowers were identical to a Tabebuia impetiginosa I had come across awhile back. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/118791/

And then I looked at the main page and saw that Tabebuia impetiginosa was a synomyn.

This was growing in zone 9A where there is frost all night. I was impressed it was growing here and had been for some time to get so big!
