Jacaranda

We planted this tree in the fall of 2000 when we purchased our house.
The sapling was a few inches long then. The tree is now about forty feet high.
Every May/June it blooms giving us these beautiful flowers which then create a carpet of color on our lawn.

I love Jacaranda, we had a huge one in our garden when we lived in California briefly. You're right, the blue carpeting of fallen blossoms are dazzling.
