Remember this tree ? I had no idea what kind of tree it was, I just loved the golden berries.
Today we were walking to the park with Pup and the air was heavy with the scent of perfume ! I looked up and there was the tree but now it looks like this
.This is not a Jacaranda but a Paraiso tree .. just beginning to flower.
It is a good time to visit !
Next time I promise to get a photo of the right kind of tree ~
I agree, once they are in full bloom the jacaranda trees are beautiful. We saw hundreds of them in southern Portugal in June of this year, still in full bloom. Magical, since I had never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteMym, there is one park that is lined with Jacarandas ! just a long row of them and you can smell it far away.. it is quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh how I adore those purpley blossoms cascading from above!
ReplyDeletekealalani, they smell good too !
ReplyDeleteI love these trees and have a post about the "China Berries" on my Buenos Aires tree blog. I was walking around a couple of nights ago and smelled the flowers as they had fallen down to the ground. They smell something like Jasmin, but not quite.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice ~ I just saw that post !
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting, good to see you :)
I was thinking when my Spanish is (much) better, I would love to take a class of some sort at the Botanical Gardens. Just so I would know what I am looking at ..
