This is the time of year when beautiful Buenos Aires becomes even more beautiful when the flowering trees blossom. Here are a couple from my walk this morning. The red one may or may not be a ceibo tree, which is Argentina’s national flower. It’s very similar to another one, so I’m not sure, but it sure was pretty.

Everybody’s favourite is the jacaranda. Every November they blossom all over the city, like purple painted ribbons along the street and bright splashes of colour in the parks. I particularly like this one because it stands against one of the city’s typical apartment buildings with wrought iron railings.
