The tall flowering plant is known as the Dwarf Trumpet Tree.  The flower is a hybrid created at the Los Angeles Arboretum in the 1970′s between Tabebuia impetiginosa (pink flower) and Tabebuia chrysotricha (yellow flower).  It was given the cultivar name of  “Apricot”.

The flowers are 3 to 11 cm (1 to 4 in.) wide and are produced in dense clusters. They present a cupular calyx campanulate to tubular, truncate, bilabiate or 5-lobed. Corolla colors vary between species ranging from white, light pink, yellow, lavender, magenta, or red. The outside texture of the flower tube is either glabrous or pubescent.
