The season has started down here--right before an expected spring deluge of rain. Don't know how that will effect a couple of these just fixing to bloom, but we shall see.

This first one is a Pryor 1996--Jacaranda Lad. In a number of ways this one makes a mockery of the registration in my garden. For one thing, it's supposed to be a mid-season. It has the honor of being first. It's listed as "a soft jacaranda blue"--I feel its a mid blue, again only my opinion. It is very tall and very vigorous.

This is not fully opened yet, but I was afraid I would not get any picture at all if I waited a few more hours. We are expecting heavy rain this afternoon and evening. There are several things about this particular LA that I'm not at all crazy about, I'll discuss that in the next post.
