Let me introduce you to El Salvador's national tree, the Maquilishuat (pronounced ma-ki-liz-wat) also known as the Roble de Sabana in Costa Rica, or by its Latin name: Tabebuia Rosea. It flowers from mid-January to the end of February much like the Japanese Cherry Blossom tree. According to the Wikipedia page its bark has various medicinal properties, but I'll be able to tell you more about that next year maybe.Its flowers are medium sized and vary from a pale violet to a vibrant pink. They line the streets with their delicate petals and have a very faint sweet scent.
