Jacaranda et al



Jacaranda was in bloom here in May. It originated in South America but has been planted in various warm places in the world.


Four o'clocks (p.m.). Actually they open about 6 p.m. here.
My mother once planted a package of four-o-clocks. They came in magenta, yellow and white. They came up all together in a clump and for a long time I thought it was one plant with three different colors of flowers.


Passion flower. Passion fruit juice is delicious. I tasted a delicious yogurt drink made with passion fruit and persimmon.


Caparis Spinosa
These bloom in the evening and night. Most of them have purple stamens. Some have white stamens. It is funny to see bees sitting on the ends of those long stamens.


I can't find the name of this.
