Flower Bloom

#mytraveldiary

Jacaranda trees (紫蓝花/蓝花楹) in Kunming, Yunnan Province — famous for their vibrant purple-blue blossoms that blanket parts of the city in late spring to early summer.

🌸 Why Jacaranda Trees Are Popular in Kunming

1. Unique in China

Kunming is one of the only cities in China with large, urban plantings of Jacaranda trees.

The blooming season (May–June) turns whole streets blue-purple, drawing tourists and photographers.


2. Exotic & Aesthetic Appeal

Jacarandas are native to South America, not China — their presence in Kunming is rare and beautiful.

Their trumpet-shaped flowers and color contrast beautifully with the city's green landscape and blue skies.
