Tabebuia umbellata

T. Umbellata is the most cold hardy of the 3 yellow-flowering Tabebuias planted in Florida. It's possibly the more spectacular at peak bloom with deep yellow flowers (brighter than the pictures show) totally covering the branches. It's also the latest of the 3 to bloom, from late March into April. The cycle is relatively short and after seeing trees in full bloom I've come back 10 days later and found them completely bare. Even when not in flower it's handsome with horizontal branches (what identifies this species at first glance) and symmetrical, open form. Very common tree in Orlando neighborhoods, less so in Southern Florida where T. Aurea is the one usually planted.
