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.

  1. 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!

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

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

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