Kathmandu Valley Turns Purple As Jacaranda Blooms

4 May 2025 · Lalitpur, Nepal

#12333056

4 May 2025

A cyclist pedals past the Jacaranda trees along a highway in Lalitpur, Nepal, on May 4, 2025. Known as Jacaranda Mimosifolia, the purple flowers decorate the Kathmandu Valley and have maintained this tradition for a century and a half. Every year, the roads of the Kathmandu Valley are painted purple with the flowers of the Jacaranda, also called the Hawaiian mimosa tree, which cannot resist breeze and light showers. It is believed that Rana rulers introduced the plant, which grows from cutting or grafting by seedling rootstock and normally takes two to three years to bloom. This genus thrives in full sun and sandy soils, explaining their abundance in warmer climates. Mature plants can survive in colder climates down to -7 ?C (19 ?F); however, they may not bloom as profusely. Younger plants are more fragile and may not survive in colder climates when temperatures drop below freezing.

Toulouse: Gathering Against Sweeping Cuts In Public Services (culture, Education, Health..)

4 Feb 2025 · Toulouse, France

#12016278

4 Feb 2025

Someone reads a paper explaining the reasons for the strike and the gathering of workers in Toulouse Metropole. Several trade unions, mainly SUD and the CGT, call for a gathering in front of one of the buildings of the Toulouse Metropole to protest against sweeping cuts. The mayor of Toulouse, Jean-Luc Moudenc (LR right), and the head of Toulouse Metropole demand sweeping cuts across the board. In his line of sight are sectors of culture (theaters, activities for children, public libraries), sports such as public swimming pools, science popularization (Quai des Savoirs, National Museum of Natural History), social services, and even school canteens. He plans to allocate more money to security cameras (more than 4,000 planned for 2025) and local police. The French government demands the cuts due to a significant shortfall in public finances. The cuts are planned to be anywhere between -60% and -30% of their latest budgets in Toulouse, France, on February 4, 2025.
