When you travel or move countries, one of the best, positive things is that you learn (and see) new things, customers, plants, and animals... When I moved to Spain, one of the most interesting trees that I saw there was Jacaranda mimosifolia... I never saw a tree like that before and beautiful purple flowers caught my attention...
Along with my never-created post about the carob tree, this was my second one where I was collecting photos, but never published the post! Well, finally, we are here! I hope that the next one will be about the carob tree as I'm collecting photos for over a year!
Back to Jacaranda... I got inspired to do this post by @coquicoin, who shared one of her #WednesdayWalk where I recognized the same tree! As I didn't know where the tree came from, I researched a bit about it and found that it's originally from South America, and because of its great look and "long-lasting" flowers, it is spread all around the world...
Regarding the place where I live, I have noticed a couple of things about it... These trees are very rarely planted in a row, I mean, more of them in one place... Most of the time, you can find Jacaranda in the middle of palm trees, or some "bushy" plants... As it stands out in all the greenery, you can spot the tree easily... Like in this photo where you can see the tree at the edge of the golf terrain...
Sometimes, it looks like the tree grown from the seed in some random place... Like this one, which grew too close to the fence of this house...
Another curiosity about this tree is that I had a hard time taking a closeup photo of its' flower! I can't explain how and why, but I suppose that it happens as flowers don't have sharp edges and my mobile phone can't focus the image properly... Also, I suppose that it has something with a specific purple color... Maybe that color doesn't exist in the phone's color palette... 😂
This was the only place where I saw more than 2-3 trees in the same place...
This one is visible from my building apartment and it is one of the two trees that I see when I go out from my home! What a view!
When flowers start to fall from a tree, you get this fantastic purple carpet... And the smell is amazing! It's not a surprise that the tree is popular in other parts of the world and not just in South America!
Thank you for your valuable time,
