*Jacaranda*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

These are a couple of detail pics of my tree...

It's my favorite tree!

[Eyerish]

1. I had one of those outside my window when I was growing up...

Very Beautiful...

The only negative about them is that the fallen petals would always stain the sidewalk purple.

Enjoy! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Eyerish!

Oh, lucky you!

They are so gorgeous...

We haven't had any problem with staining, but they are sticky!

I can see mine from here at my computer...

I love it!

:hi:

3. My Dear Peggy!

How lovely :) I lived in Fullerton Cal on a Jacaranda street and for a couple weeks each spring the street was electric when the trees bloomed.
Then of course, the buds died and littered the hell out of the neighborhood. But it was good while it lasted! :party:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Dyedinthewoolliberal!

Yes, the Southland is full of such neighborhoods! And we are so damn lucky.

I love seeing the purple clouds peeking over garages and from back yards everywhere!

Thanks, sweetie!

:hug:

5. I was trying to describe that tree

to my neighbor recently . I told her it looks like a great big lavendar flower!


Jacaranda-I gotta remember that!


I can see my lilac bush from here , and I can smell it and the lily of the valley

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear JitterbugPerfume!

That's a pretty good description!

How cool you can smell your lilacs and the lily of the valley!

:hug:

9. The only pop song I know with "jacaranda" in the lyrics...

...about 2:25 into it. Can't hear the word "jacaranda" without thinking of this song and the gaudy stupid video.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear gmoney!

Oh, great!

Now I will hear that song when I hear the word "jacaranda" too...

Thanks a bunch!

:P

11. lovely.

The lavender against the blue sky with the hint of green leaf.
Peaceful and serene.
Thanks. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear Tuesday Afternoon...

Ah, sweetie...

So glad you like them!

I just had the camera repaired, and the tree's blooming....

So, the choice was easy!

Thanks...

12. I love Jacarandas.

On Sixth Street, the line-up was amazing. I don't miss the sticky flowers on my car.

None here on the East Coast, we have a ton of varieties of cherry trees, all shades of white/pink/rose, but no PURPLE.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear kwassa!

Yes, that is a color unique to the tree...

I don't care for the sticky quality, but I LOVE the color!

The purple haze of the trees all lined up is so wonderful.

Thanks for coming by tonight, sweetie... :hug:

Aw, thanks, sweetie!

My pleasure...

17. There are some jacaranda here in San Diego

The jacaranda are very lovely, and are usually visible in May and early June.

I always enjoy seeing them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear MikeH!

They are such beautiful trees...

I feel very lucky to have them!

:hi:

19. My son says he's going to move where there are jacarandas.

And now I know where that is. hahahaha.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear kaiden!

Your son is a very intelligent guy!

The trees are gorgeous, and they live all over Southern California!
