Jacaranda trees, which are native to South America, are a very popular tree in Los Angeles with beautiful bright purple flowers that peak every May. Here are some Jacarandas in Culver City:
I grew up with a jacaranda in the backyard (our chickens liked to eat the flowers). They are really messy trees, but I think they are well worth it for all the beauty they bring!
Last year, I moved from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. This blog documents my explorations of L.A.'s architecture, public art, parks, and urban landscape. Please feel free to leave comments, questions or suggestions on my blog or contact me at laplacesblog@gmail.com.
