Purple Trees San Diego

Post by Tawmis »

I can't reply to that FB comment about the purple trees in San Diego Collector, on that profile - but yes - they're all over my work campus. :)

And where I used to live on Bonita Street in Spring Valley, we had a big one in our back yard.

I guess you are not Facebook friends with Neal Hallford. He was a Dynamix designer/writer, famous for Betrayal at Krondor. I believe he lives in your area.

I can't see the FB linky, but -- ah, Tawm -- you mean the jacaranda trees! :) (Link to NBC San Diego).

Aye, they're beautiful.

However, if they're near doors it's a pain because those flowers fall and become very sticky and will clump and stick to your shoes. :)

Ah, those trees. Yep, we have them here in Melbourne too. Here's one from the Royal Botanical Gardens ...

Yeah - it's just crazy because San Diego being mostly desert - there's rarely color in our landscape. Until these trees bloom.
