…also known as Yellow Bells & Yellow Trumpet flower
THE  Tecoma Stans  also known as Yellow Bells and Yellow Trumpet flower,  is a species of flowering shrub that is native to the Americas  and is  a member of the bignonia family which includes such plants as the calabash tree.
Other  Common names include Yellow Elder, Ginger-Thomas, and Esperanza (Spanish for ‘hope’).
Tecoma Stans  can be found throughout much of the tropical Americas, including the Southwestern United States and Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Central America and South America as far south as northern Argentina.
It  is the official flower of the United States Virgin Islands and the national flower of The Bahamas.
Tecoma Stans  is an attractive plant that has  sharply-toothed, lance-shaped green leaves and bears large bountiful  loads of  bright golden yellow trumpet-shaped and fragrant  flowers in  heavy clusters.
Tecoma Stans  can grow  to 6 – 15 feet tall and 6 – 10 feet wide and the  bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers are about 2 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Its flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds  and make  a great addition to a bird attracting garden.

The plant has been described by many as the Humming bird magnet.

Even when not in bloom, the rich green foliage is a welcome addition to any  garden.

The subtropical appearance created by the lush foliage and showy flowers allow Tecoma Stans to be used as a patio or poolside plant.

It can be used alone as a colorful accent, or massed for a knockout flower display.

It is also good for a boundary planting, big shrub border or  screening.
Horticulturalists who are members of the Horticultural Society of Guyana (HSG) disclose that the Tecoma Stans  loves full sunlight  and produces maximum amounts of flowers in these weather conditions.
It doesn’t need much water, it has great tolerance for heat,  it is fast growing and has strong pest resistance all of which translates to an easy plant to grow.
For best results, they say,  plant in full sun or reflected sun, and in a soil with good drainage.
You can let this plant grow as  a tree or prune it occasionally  to keep as a shrub.
The HSG members say that it handles  pruning very well then comes back with more branches which means even more flowers for you.
