The apamate, is a family tree of the Araguaney with the difference that we find it in several colors like, the pink, lilac, orange, purple, when it has not flown goes unnoticed since its foliage is green and interspersed with the rest of the vegetation blooms in the month of February to April, just as the araguaney when it blossoms is a sight worthy of being captured on a canvas.

It is also known as the orumo and not only in our country is it enhanced in its foliage as an emblematic tree of the Cojedes state, it is also from Barranquilla, Colombia, receiving another name, "purple oak" and from Santa Ana, Costa Delicious. It is distributed in Mexico, Central America, tropical South America: Venezuela, Colombia and coastal regions of Ecuador. It is multiplied by seeds; medium growth It demands warm climates and enough humidity in the soil, and fertility. It does not tolerate the cold well.

Its wood is of white or gray heartwood, uniform. It is a very noble tree, because of the great utility that it lends to decorate parks and gardens, its wood produces furniture and frameworks of the roofs, as well as in the fences of houses and cattle farms. That's why it's a very emblematic tree, and today I want to share this beauty with you, as its flowers fall, it looks like a beautiful rug at your feet. That is why it has been sung, painted in a thousand ways by the bohemian painters, a whole work of art.
