The Jacaranda Tree
They usually start flowering in November, December and are still hard at it now in early January, the rich red,blue and purple blossoms make the city look like a painting with the intense flower display.
Jacaranda trees are one of my favorites, with their sculptural trunk, limbs and blossoms flowering in December, scatter themselves, all over the city streets.
A sea of purple.

Jacaranda Lined Streets
Originating from South Africa, the Jacaranda tree is quite infamous in various parts of Australia.There are streets lined with Jacaranda trees as part of council planning in places such as Ipswich in the south east of Queensland.
They are also well known in the inner city areas in Sydney, N.S W, down to Victoria where many are grown in parks and gardens for their sculptural and full purple blossom effects.
Grafton in N.S.W, is famous for its Jacaranda Festival, when all come together from all over to celebrate these magnificence trees are in full flower.
The streets there are simple full of flowering Jacarandas when the festival is on and the street strune with people and blossom flowers enjoying the festive activities.
Jacarandas have been incorporated in many urban and inner city landscaping designs within Australian cities as they not only are attractive but are drought tolerate and quite easily propagated trees.
In the town of Redcliff a town in Victoria, part of the Calder Highway, a street was named Jacaranda St in the early 1920's. To this day they now have to keep up with the planting and maintenance of the Jacaranda trees that line the street to up hold its namesake.
It certainly would be an honor to live in Jacaranda Street. What a show of purple flowers when in bloom.

When I was in labor with my first daughter we saw a beautiful Jacarnada tree in full bloom. It was so memorable that when she was 3 we planted one in her honor. She still calls it her tree.

I love them and when I lived in Zambia in the city of Ndola i was blessed to walk through tree lined streets full of them. Great theme for a lens.
I think they are ok but nothing much to write home about.

- Jacarandas bloom in May here in Florida, USA. I have never seen a whole street of them, but they are so majestic, just one takes my breath away. We have one planted 15 years ago that has not bloomed yet. Beautiful lens, blessed by a SquidAngel.
