One of my favorite flowers is the blooms on a jacaranda tree aka Jacaranda mimosifolia. Purple! It grows in sub-tropic and tropical places (zones 9-11). The second link is a NY Times article regarding how they were planted in Mexico City. Sorry about the paywall, PM me if you are interested and I will send you a link to bypass the paywall. First link is Wiki.

Jacarandas are a wonderfully beautiful tree, especially if there are many of them, the purple is breathtaking. Only one downside is the particles of sap that drop on your car if you park under one. Pretty sticky to get off...

I fell in love with them when I was in Belize, they are stunning when in full bloom.

I am in Zone 9B, they are uncommon so I drive different routes just to see them every Spring. I wanted one for my yard but I don't have enough space.

@MizJ I saw so many beautiful trees there, and i had to keep telling myself, don't bother, they won't grow where you are.

@glennlab I thought the same when I was in Paris, France in the Spring. I miss this time of year in New England as well.

Lots of them along the east coast of Aus.
Many councils planted them for their spectacular blooms. One problem is that when they loose their blooms en masse,accidents happen. These blooms are very slippery underfoot and on the roads .(in times of urgent braking)

Yep, Toowoomba can be spectacular.
