Jacaranda mimosifolia is a sub-tropical tree native to south-central South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its attractive and long-lasting violet-colored flowers. It is also known as the jacaranda, blue jacaranda, black poui, Nupur or fern tree.

Portugal's beautiful Algarve area is renowned for its stunning beauty and has been welcoming tourists commercially since the 1960's. However, step away from the tourist traps and into the countryside and you will discover a plethora of natural beauty.
