jacaranda
Violet-flowered tropical
A jacaranda is a tropical tree native to South America, prized for its striking clusters of trumpet-shaped purple-blue flowers that bloom profusely in spring.
The trees are widely planted as ornamentals in warm climates, where they line streets and fill parks with vivid color.
The jacarandas were in full bloom, carpeting the sidewalks with fallen purple petals.
The wood is also used in furniture making and carving.
