The Jacaranda trees are blooming in Phoenix right now and they have these lovely bunches of lavender flowers hanging from them like bunches of grapes. They really are beautiful to see but the blooms don't last for very long, maybe two to three weeks.
What a spectacular sight!
ReplyDeleteI love the jacaranda trees that line many of the boulevards in Buenos Aires and explode in lavender every November.
ReplyDeleteJacaranda Trees have not bloomed yet here, but when they do, streets look absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe first shot is great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sight!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe jacarandas do make such a mess after flowering but for the short time while they are in flower, the mess is so worth it :)
ReplyDeleteWow - that is gorgeous, Sharon! 2 to 3 weeks of that wouldn't be hard to take.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have them as a rule, they are so beautiful! And 2-3 weeks is a wonderfully long time compared with other spring flowering trees! Do they smell nice too?
ReplyDeleteThree weeks is a pretty decent bloom time. The dogwoods here are only in bloom about 10 days and the crabapple trees about one week. I love those purple blossoms. They remind me of hanging baskets. Phoenix is extraordinarily beautiful in the spring!
ReplyDeleteThey are down here in Florida, too, but it seems that they are less common than before.
ReplyDeleteThe colors take my breath away! I've been having problems with my typing hand ann need to figure out how to post comments.
ReplyDeleteI love those trees.
ReplyDeleteAll those lovely purple carpets will soon disappear with the wind.
