Wow, what a color difference from mine here on o`ahu.  Seems to only flower spring n summer.  Seems to be improving as I begin to take care.  Been in the ground for about 20 years.

Can't get a picture of the whole tree.  Here is one of the basic trunk.  It's that dark trunk lower center of picture.

Your Jacaranda is likely either J. cuspidifolia or mimosifolia.. the two common species.   Peter's is a cross between J. jasminoides and one of the common sp.. 

As a species, straight  J. jasminoides has more maroon tinted purple colored, wide - mouthed flowers rather than mid range purple-y blue, & wide, and somewhat fuzzy textured leaves that could be mistaken for fresh new leaves on Spathodea ( African Tulip Tree ) rather than a Jacaranda.

Doesn't get all that tall either ..Biggest i'd seen in the past was about 10ft.  Wish more people were growing it since it can take some cold ( ..somewhere in the mid- 20s once established, ..if i remember right )

Cross has foliage that is intermediate between jasminoides  and cuspidifolia / mimosifolia, and can get tall-ish  ..though no where as tall as the common Jacaranda sps. ( unless specimens Palm Talk members had started years ago have grown much bigger now )  Flowers are always a rich, dark blue violet, like Peter's specimen. Wish i still had mine.

Sorry, just saw this post.  And I don't have much to add from what Nathan said;  my tree is from hybrid seed that was produced by Flamingo Gardens back when they participated in that online seed auction from Florida that they used to have-can't remember the name of it now.  I believe the general consensus is that it's jasminoides and cuspidifolia, although I don't think anyone knows for sure.  Unfortunately my tree has never formed a single pod after years of flowering.

The 3-5 species most commonly seen in cultivation is just the tip of the ice burg.. There are something like 49-52 species in the Genus. w/ a majority originating in South America Some are massive rainforest  trees, some shrubby ..Others like the one highlighted below act like ground hugging perennials that are woody below the surface.

Wish many more of the obscure species were in circulation / cultivation.

A few of the other unusual species:
