The jacaranda flowers have fallen all over the ground, but my longing has blossomed across the sky

🌸 **"When the Jacarandas Fall, the Whole City is Heartbroken for Me"** **"It turns out, there is a kind of tree whose withering is so romantically unbelievable."** The first time I encountered jacarandas was in Kunming in April. The entire street was dyed blue-purple, and when the wind blew, the petals fell like a rain that never wets. At that moment, I suddenly understood—why people say that when jacarandas bloom, even the air tastes sweet. 💜 01 What Jacarandas Taught Me About "Sophisticated Romance"** ▸ **Short Blooming Period**: They are beautiful for only 15 days a year; if you miss it, you have to wait 365 days—just like those confessions in youth that never got spoken ▸ **Longer Falling Period**: Petals cover the sidewalks, turning even withering into a carpet, letting people leave while stepping on romance ▸ **Shy Canopy**: Two jacaranda trees always keep their distance, much like adult friendships—no matter how close, some space must be kept My friend said this was "pretentious" until I took her under the tree. She held up her phone and took pictures for half an hour, finally saying, "This tree... really is something." 📸 02 Taking Photos of Jacarandas Made Me the "Top Influencer" in My Circle** • **7 AM**: Backlit jacarandas look like they’ve been sprinkled with gold dust; lowering the phone’s exposure instantly creates a "Monet oil painting" effect • **Rainy Day Effect**: Wet roads reflect the flower shadows; when composing, remember to blur pedestrians into color blocks (color grading parameters attached) • **Night Mode**: Under streetlights, jacarandas turn into a blue-purple starry river; it’s recommended to wear a white dress and spin around for candid shots Last month’s nine-grid post exploded in the comments with over a dozen old classmates I hadn’t contacted in five years asking, "Where is this?!"—see, even algorithms can’t crack the jacaranda’s popularity code. 🌌 03 Now, I’ve Become a "Flower Chaser"** To see jacarandas in different cities, I’ve done many crazy things: • Skipped work to fly to Kunming just to catch the "Jacaranda Waterfall" on Jiaochang Middle Road • Took wedding photos with jacarandas in the foreground at the Sydney Opera House • Even planted a potted jacaranda at home, though it only bloomed three flowers... **"If cherry blossoms represent first love, then jacarandas must be the heartbeat of adulthood— knowing they will wither, yet still unable to stop for that blue-purple fall."**
