Surviving Past Their Season


Just when I thought that I had seen the last of the lovely Jacaranda blooms for the season, I spotted this one right at eye level.  I was on the 3rd level of a parking garage when I caught site of these lovely lavender blooms.


They appeared to be the only ones remaining on this tree and they certainly have outlasted their normal season.  I hadn't seen any jacaranda booms since mid-May.  I'm glad I got one more look at their delicate bell shaped flowers.

We had lots of these trees in South Florida. In fact, I used to play golf on the Jacaranda Golf Course in Plantation, Florida. Very pretty!

Love the jacaranda's Sharon, shouldn't they flower through summer?

Very pretty! I saw on the news that you are having a heatwave - stay cool!

Delicate and pretty!

Evolution in action. If there is a place for a late-blooming jacaranda, this guy will get the last laugh.

Funny that just one clump of flowers is left. As Jack said, I guess that gives the tree an evolutionary advantage!
