Trees That Make Me Sneeze

Poinciana trees are in full bloom. No shrinking violets, they. If I owned a house, I would insist on a least one of these brazen beauties.



The splashy blossoms are difficult to ignore. Alas, this year the rainy season arrived early with a bit of an attitude, and many petals lie crumpled on the ground.


The jacaranda is much more subtle, but no less lovely.



Airy, lacy, lavender canopies eliciting oohs and aahs.



Achoo!
