Thanks for sharing Greysalon. I haven't noticed much blooming around here lately. However, there is an amazing and beautiful Jacaranda that is in full bloom a few blocks away. It's on my daily commute so I haven't sniffed it, but it is so beautiful to look at. And it makes the prettiest purple street corner where the flowers drop and blanket everything under it. Gorgeous. I'm not just saying that because purple is my favorite color...
I've also seen the Golden trumpet trees, Tabebuia chrysotricha blooming. They are used in landscaping all over down here, mostly in parking lots and in a few yards. They are mostly yellow but I've noticed more of the pink variety this year and a few trees of the silver variety.
The Orchid tree, Bauhinia variegata (I think the common name is Phanera varigata) is also starting to bloom. So pretty and delicate looking.
I miss the Azaleas in the spring. They were all over Central, FL but I haven't seen any down here in south FL. It's probably too warm. I'm surprised there's no Oleander down here either, they should be blooming about now too I think.
