The Caracus wigandia is a small tree or large ornamental plant with large leaves and purple-blue flowers. Other than the fact that this tree is native to Venezuela (from the sign - see below) I don´t know anything about it. This tree is in the Southern Spanish town of Mijas not too far from the Bull ring. Enjoy the pictures!
Wigandia is naturalized in a few areas in California. It's best known as one of those rare trees that can produce contact dermatitis (watch out!).
