Why we need flowers?

Few days ago while leaving the apartment for work, I looked at a tree in the yard and wondered what it was. Today while running errands of tugging the grocery in, amidst a zigzag of branches I spotted lavender flowers and now I know the tree is jacaranda.

My visits to grandparents village had a lot of colour in them with Lucky nut flowers. I can now see why they are called Yellow Oleander. The leaf structure is same. But the lucky nuts leaves are fresh green.
