The Araguaney tree, also known as the "golden tree" or "national tree of Venezuela", is an emblematic species of the northern region of South America. This species is predominantly found in Venezuela, although it can also be found in Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil.
The Araguaney tree has a distinctive characteristic that makes it even more special. It is its spectacular yellow flowers that cover the entire tree during the flowering season, which generally occurs between the months of March and April. These flowers are very showy and can measure up to 7 centimeters in diameter. They form large yellow corollas that contrast beautifully with the dark foliage of the tree and create an impressive show.
