Jacaranda (hoc-a-ron-DA) starts the summer with these fabulous violet flowers, stunning enough. What I can't provide here is the fragrance that comes with. As they say R.O.U. "impresionante".
You can find them all over with some lucky bastards having one in the yard or nearby, but there are a few streets LINED with them and when they bloom well, it's hard to describe. A very strong scent, a beautiful scent as nice as any perfume. It's like an outdoor pot-pour i dispenser. Then there's the color; bright, no vibrant and when there's a row of 'em well, it's to die for.
Last, but not least, the killer is when petals litter the ground and a light wind carries still more, falling all around- it's like snow, a violet snow fall. Crazy.
I didn't get anything as spectacular as the photo above. I will try again next year, but the shot above gives you some idea.
That's a moment from Montevideo, thanks for reading.
