Saw this specimen today that is still blooming. It also had a passenger on it's trunk.

Close-up on the blooms:

This is Tabebuia heterophylla, which is the most widely grown Caribbean native Tabebuia in Florida (Tabebuia aurea is from Brazil). It's a great tree for south Florida, can bloom over a long period of time and does not typically go fully deciduous. It has a naturally compact crown with columnar form and doesn't ever get massive. I don't think it's frost hardy so restricted to south Florida.

 

What is the difference between T. rosea and T. heterophylla?

What is the difference between T. rosea and T. heterophylla? 

I believe the name "heterophylla" refers to the heterogenous leaves, i.e. you will see a good mix of leaves with 3 leaflets, 5 leaflets, and sometimes even entire branches with singular leaves. The leaflets are thick, like a live oak, and oval shaped. 

There are a bunch of similar looking species in this group, including the ones that are now classified as Handroanthus, so it gets confusing. I don't know that I've ever seen true T. rosea in Florida but from inaturalist photos it looks like it has big clusters of flowers on mostly leafless branches, more like Hadroanthus heptaphyllus.

H. heptaphyllus is the other 'pink tab' that's commonly planted in Florida and it's easy to identify with consistently 5-7 (hepta) leaflets which have toothed margins. This one is more cold hardy as it's native to roughly the same region of South America as Copernicia alba - down to at least 30 degrees south in Argentina. I have no idea why it was split from Tabebuia. 

Tabebuia rosea is a Mexican species, but many of the photos on google for that name are from nurseries and websites selling the two previously mentioned species, possibly one of those mistakes that gets ingrained in horticulture because its just a nicer name for a pink flowering tree.
