The annual spring jacaranda bloom is on brilliant display on Myrtle Street in Santa Ana and throughout the Southland. A slight breeze can cause the faintly fragrant 2-inch-long flowers to cascade from a tree�s canopy. Lavender-colored streets and sidewalks are a beautiful sight, but the blooms can be a sticky nuisance underfoot.
