In spring thousands of jacaranda trees blossom throughout Mexico City. They are at their peak in March and early April. However, there are always some trees that bloom early. I usually see a few of them in February. It is a bit like seeing the first robin back in Ohio. When will I see the first blooming jacaranda?
Even though this winter has been colder than usual, I had my first sighting last Wednesday. It was still January, and this tree was blooming!
It is located in the Alameda, a downtown park that has a large number of jacarandas. It is one of the best places to see the purple blossoms of springtime.
Although it may not seem like it for those north of the border going through an especially rough winter, spring is on its way!
