The flowering trees, shrubs and plants are outstanding! Purple and all shades of lavender... fiery orangey-reds... creamy whites... They have a tree here called a Poinciana Tree that was so amazing I made a U turn to snap a photo of it. Growing up, my grandmother had a yellow Jacaranda Tree, but I had never seen a Purple one... I believe this must be the state tree!!! They're everywhere & they are lovely!! Being from the South, I just adore Magnolia Trees... the aroma is heavenly. I had to chuckle when I saw the lemon trees in people's yards. We had lemon, grapefruit, banana and orange trees in Florida. Lots of good memories came to mind.
