The White Ipê is a tree native to Brazil, belonging to the Bignoniaceae family. It is a small to medium-sized tree, generally reaching between 7 and 16 meters in height. It has striking, predominantly white flowers, which may sometimes display slightly pinkish tones.

During flowering, the tree may lose most or all of its leaves, allowing its canopy to become covered with flowers and creating a remarkable visual display. It is highly valued for its ornamental, ecological, and landscaping importance and is widely used in parks, gardens, and urban areas. Its flowers also provide resources for pollinators such as bees.

Curiosity: the White Ipê can bloom when the tree is almost completely without leaves, making its flowers stand out even more.
