LOL!

The Hong Kong Orchid tree (Bauhinia x blakeana) makes a better street tree in my opinion and is also very widely used here (as a street tree).

Hello Lori:

Thanks! The Bauhinia variegata, purpurea and variegata 'Candida' started blooming back in early February.

Yes, the Jacarandas are blooming now; they started about 3 weeks ago.

How wonderful for all the lucky people in San Diego. I know for positive/sure that the lovely Jacaranda won't work in my area...but ...it was an unforgettable experience to see the seedlings springing up in the garden.

Lori:

Yes, all the trees and plants are growing and blooming so well this year. I think it's because of all the rain we had this last rainy season.
