Lapacho trees in bloom - Spring 2018


The "lapacho rosado" (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is a tree native from the North-West of Argentina. Every year these trees announce the arrival of Spring in Buenos Aires with an explosion of pink flowers.

One of its most splendid specimens is the tree that was planted many years ago by landscape artist Martin Ezcurra as ornament for the house located on the corner of Ave. Figueroa Alcorta and Mariscal Castilla, in Palermo Chico. Popularly known as "Lapacho de Ezcurra", this one of the most famous and spectacular trees in Buenos Aires:





The Lapacho on Figueroa Alcorta Ave on the photos above is the most spectacular of all, but there are many other specimens of lapachos scattered in pars and streets around Buenos Aires, like the ones below:

Av. 9 de Julio
Plaza Italia
Ave. del Libertador & Olleros

Botanical Garden
Av. del Libertador y Olleros

Av. Figueroa Alcorta & Caasares
This wonderful spectacle only lasts for a few weeks, so those who are in Buenos Aires in late September/early October can be considered very lucky to witness it.

As every November it's Jacaranda Season in Buenos Aires, and the city gets painted one more time in lavender blue. These beautiful trees can be found all over the city, making this the most beautiful time of the year to visit Buenos Aires and admire this wonderful spectacle of nature.

Some of the most beautiful specimens of Jacaranda trees can be admired in Plaza San Martin; along Avenida Figueroa Alcorta; Avenida Libertador near Plaza Francia (Recoleta); Plaza Italia; Plaza Alemania; Plaza de Mayo, Plaza Congreso, Palermo Parks, the Rose Garden, and many streets, avenues and parks across the city.

They say this has been the warmest winter in Buenos Aires in the history of the National Weather Service records. And this must have affected nature for sure, because the Lapacho trees which normally bloom by mid or late September, have started to bloom in late August this year, probably earlier than ever.
