Or otherwise known as Pink Trumpet Tree ...
From Wikipedia -
Tabebuia rosea is a neotropical tree that grows up to 30 m (100ft) and can reach a diameter at breast height of up to 100 cm (3 ft). The name Roble de Sabana is widely used in Costa Rica meaning "savannah oak" in Spanish, probably because it often remains in heavily deforested areas, where people prize its intense flowering periods and because of the resemblance of its wood with the oak wood. The name Maquilishuat is almost entirely used by the inhabitants of El Salvador to designate the Tabeuia rosea - it's also their national tree.
From Wikipedia -
Tabebuia is a neotropical genus of about 100 species in the tribe Tecomeae of the family Bignoniaceae. The species range from northern Mexico and southern Florida south to northern Argentina, including the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic, Haiti), Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and Cuba. The generic name is derived from words used for the trees by the indigenous peoples of Brazil.
Well-known common names include Trumpet Tree, Ipê (commonly misspelled "epay"), Poui and Pau d'arco.
Species in this genus are important as timber trees. The wood is used for furniture, decking, and other outdoor uses. It is increasingly popular as a decking material due to its insect resistance and durability. By 2007, FSC-certified ipê wood had become readily available on the market, although certificates are occasionally forged.
Indigenous peoples of the Amazon made hunting bows from the wood, which is the source of the common name pau d'arco, "bow stick".
Tabebuia is widely used as ornamental tree in the tropics in landscaping gardens, public squares, and boulevards due to its impressive and colorful flowering. Many flowers appear on still leafless stems at the end of the dry season, making the floral display more conspicuous. They are useful as honey plants for bees, and are popular with certain hummingbirds.
Naturalist Madhaviah Krishnan on the other hand once famously took offense at ipé grown in India, where it is not native.
The bark is dried, shredded, and then boiled making a bitter or sour-tasting brownish-colored tea. Tea from the inner bark of Pink Ipê (T. impetiginosa) is known as pau d'arco, Lapacho, or Taheebo. Its main chemical principles are lapachol, quercetin, and other flavonoids. It is also available in pill form. Taheebo has been used for years in Central America and South America to treat a number of diseases including Eczema, Candidiasis, Fungal infections and even cancer.
The worth and use of Taheebo extract has been related to the importance of quinine, which is taken from the bark of the South American Cinchona tree and is a medicinally accepted treatment for malaria. The herbal remedy is typically used during flu and cold season and for easing smoker's cough. It apparently works as an expectorant, by promoting the lungs to cough up and free deeply embedded mucus and contaminants. However, lapachol is rather toxic and therefore a more topical use e.g. as antibiotic or pesticide may be advisable. Other species with significant folk medical use are T. alba and Yellow Lapacho (T. serratifolia).
Tabebuia heteropoda, T. incana, and other species are occasionally used as an additive to the entheogenic drink Ayahuasca.
Mycosphaerella tabebuiae, a plant pathogenic sac fungus, was first discovered on an ipê tree.
Much of the ipê imported into the United States is used for decking. Starting in the late 1960s, importing companies targeted large boardwalk projects to sell ipê, beginning with New York City Department of Parks and Recreation ("Parks") which maintains the city's boardwalks, including along the beach of Coney Island. The city began using ipê around that time and has since converted the entire boardwalk—over 10 miles (16 km) long—to ipê. The ipê lasted about 25 years, at which time (1994) Parks has been replacing it with new ipê. Given that ipê trees typically grow in densities of only one or two trees per acre, large areas of forest must be searched and cut down to create paths to harvest and fill orders for boardwalks and, to a lesser extent, homeowner decks.
In 2008-2009 Wildwood, New Jersey rebuilt a section of their boardwalk using ipê, the town had pledged to use domestic black locust, but it was not available in time.
Nowadays, ipé wood from cultivated trees supersedes timber extracted from the wild. As noted above, customers should check for legitimacy of certificates.
Tabebuia chrysotricha is the national flower of Brazil. Tabebuia rosea is the national tree of El Salvador and the state tree of Cojedes, Venezuela. Tabebuia chrysantha is the national tree of Venezuela.
I was out at the Scarborough Bluffs and decided to climb up to the top to see the view from there. After a strenuous climb, I was rewarded with an incredibly beautiful vista. You can watch the video I made at www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwLozcWhw3o Enjoy! Although the Scarborough Bluffs are only minutes from downtown Toronto, they are a world apart. It’s difficult to imagine scenery and serenity on such a grand scale so near to the bustle of urban living. I recommend a visit to experience the thrill of merely becoming a temporary part of this scenery, but if that is not possible, at least you can view them here.

I've had plenty of chocolate and banana pancakes before, but embedded banana was a revelation.
You have to love the Dutch dedication to the only things that truly matter in life - pancakes and cycling.
Here is the shaft with the gear that rotated the eccentric wheel. It would have been mounted horizontally, like it is now. The shaft is 3 1/2-in in diameter and is 6-ft long. On the opposite side of the gear, a pulley would have been mounted. A belt would stretch between this pulley and the one on the old engine in the distance (a distance of about 33 feet). As the belt rotated the pulley, the gear rotated the eccentric wheel shaft, pulling and pushing the jack lines. When it was mounted, it looks like the larger two-disc circular structure on the middle of the shaft fit in the concrete structure in the upper left of the picture.
A choice that makes the difference.
