The Sierra Madre Wisteria Vine - Largest In the World
It's Spring in Los Angeles!
And that means that soon, if not already, the blooms of two
extraordinary plants will herald in the season in spectacular fashion.

I speak of two I adore; Wisteria and Jacaranda!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors. Stunning bit of nature in these two plants.
Just gorgeous, these two.
In their own way, like you:
Outwardly by your face
But, too, in the place
You hold on this earth
Of inestimable worth.

Hi Mary Joan!
ReplyDeleteYes, it'a almost Jacaranda time!
and I do not know the location of the ones inthe shot shown here.
You do not mention where you are in Los Angeles, so I've compiled a list of sorts,
and you can go on as many Jacaranda Jaunts as you like; they bloom for about 6 weeks, give or take, dependent on the weather of the season.
In the San Fernando Valley:
Stansbury Street & Dixie Canyon Avenue, (near Valley Vista Boulevard), Sherman Oaks,
as well as many spots throughout the Valley Glen, Sherman Oaks, Studio City area.
Index Street, Granada Hills
San Gabriel Valley:
