It’s jacaranda season: When purple reigns

There are estimated to be some 20,000 jacaranda trees along public streets in Los Angeles.

When spring’s warm sun slackens winter’s chilly grip, Angelenos count on their streets being punctuated with neon purple jacaranda trees — as much a trademark of this region as the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. Seen from elevated freeways, puffy clouds of purple appear to hover over neighborhoods. The bloom sometimes begins in March, but can usually be depended on from April through June. The trees’ color is especially vibrant against Southern California’s May gray skies.L.A.’s oldest jacarandas are 80 to 100 years old, and there are estimated to be some 20,000 of them along public streets in the city. Pasadena maintains an estimated 1,654 jacarandas..

We have jacaranda season in Sydney, Australia, too. A favourite time of year.

'chilly'

Allllllllll over everything. Sticky sticky sticky

Neon purple? Not really.

Other than my friends, that's certainly one of the things I miss about Los Angeles.

siddsgal perfect timing 👍🏼

VickyMooreNews Watch for them during pursuits. They really stand out against the mayhem. UrbanBlooms

I can see them when I drive in my track or look out my window-- I 💜 them, yet I am grateful they aren't on my street!

💟💟💟

Favorite time of the year is when the Jacarandas and the Jasmine all bloom pretty much at the same time.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in Jerusalem: ‘I support the embassy being here’'As an American, as a Jew, I’m sorry to see Israel portrayed by some leaders as a more and more partisan issue,' ericgarcetti told us during his recent trip to Jerusalem. ericgarcetti Trump was right to make his changes. I'm surprized not more countries have also recognized a new Jewish capital, actually. What's going on? ericgarcetti He's right, condemning apartheid and racism should always be a partisan effort, and yet here we have Garcetti on an Israeli propaganda tour going against international consensus with his support for land theft. Disgusting. ericgarcetti Eric Garcetti supports genocide & IsraeliWarCrimes. Zionism = Nazism Israel kills innocent civilians, imprisons & shoots children, maims peaceful protestors, massacres medics & journalists, destroys homes, uproots orchards, poisons h2o. Netanyahu to The Hague! Vote Garcetti out!
