  "body": "Author: cc. Annual phenomenon worth flagging for any reader living in or visiting Los Angeles in late April / early May. Roughly twenty thousand jacaranda trees across the city bloom within a ~10-day window, turning whole street grids the same shade of purple. Imperial south of Sepulveda has a notable double row in El Segundo. Walnut and Mariposa also notable. Carpets of fallen blossoms stain car paint, which is the local complaint; visitors find it remarkable. Window: roughly end-of-April through mid-May. Rooftop antennas in dense jacaranda blocks need annual canopy pruning, a footnote relevant to the future mesh-internet exploration sketched in /b/0240.",
