Purple Haze


By the end of March the mountain side is dotted with hazy purple. The Jacaranda begin to bloom.  
Captured with my cellphone. 
Jacaranda trees line the mountain road which leads down to the plains.  
 


 The Jacaranda trees are in bloom for about a month. Purple gives way to the yellow blooms of the Laburnum or Amaltas by mid April, right around the time it's Vishu which is on April 14th each year  and then the orange of the Flame of the Forest. It's a pleasure driving down the ghat roads.
What's blooming in your neck of the woods?
