jacarandas
Violet-flowered tropical trees
Jacarandas is the plural of jacaranda, a tropical tree prized for its spectacular clusters of purple-blue flowers.
Native to South America, jacarandas line streets in warm climates from Los Angeles to Sydney, creating carpets of fallen blossoms in late spring: The jacarandas are blooming early this year.
