This is my very favorite tree--the Jacaranda. These beautiful purple flowers forming a lacy pattern against the blue sky lift my heart every year.

Beautiful. Is this tree in your yard?
Posted by: ms_teacher | June 11, 2008 at 01:12 AM
It is my second favorite tree. Laura's pear blossom being the first. When we flew in from Tucson last month, Laura and I were spotting them from the air as we landed in San Diego. They are everywhere and lovely and made us very happy. Pear blossoms grace January birthdays and Jacaranda announce the summer.

There are so many things that cannot, will not grow in Minnesota. I would pass out if I awoke to that beauty out my window ...

It would be like a vacation every morning to open my eyes and see that out my window. It's beautiful!

Me Too! I think they're absolutely amazing.
