Residents enjoy views of the Tabebuia chrysantha blossom, also known as Araguaney or Yellow Ipe, at Central Park in Futian District yesterday. Hrysantha, or Yellow Ipe, 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. Different flowers have been in bloom around the city recently as spring comes. Ding Qingling
