Purple Haze
Along with various palm trees, the jacaranda is, in the mind of Your Boulevardier, the signature tree of Southern California. Its clouds of purple flowers provide a layer of gentle color over the southland's lovelier byways. The tree, it seems, can thrive in Castro Valley, too; this example was spotted yesterday on Redwood Road, south of Highway 580.

It's so exciting to see a Jacaranda in the C-Vizzle! My mom fell in love with them while visiting me in Australia where I was doing a semester abroad (In my experience there are way more Jacaranda's in Australia than SoCal) and she really wanted to plant one at home. Maybe we will!
