Blue Jacaranda - Jacaranda Mimosifolia

The house where I grew up had two Blue Jacaranda trees in the yard. The larger of the two was in the front, right outside my bedroom window. Every morning at about 5:30 a group of screeching parakeets would land in the tree and make a terrible racket for about 15 minutes. As a boy I used to climb this tree a lot and even build myself a small tree fort in the tree.
The seedpods of the Blue Jacaranda pop open when they dry allowing the seeds to fall out.
The Blue Jacaranda flower is composed of a cluster of light blue bell shaped flowers. The tree below is near to the Malaga city hall building.

Gosh, what a treat it must have been to welcome a blooming tree outside your window every year. I didn't grow up with Jacaranda's but my first year in LA, I remember being so amazed by how lovely they are. I'll miss them if I ever move.
