In hotter areas they might be Jacaranda trees:http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rl... . I've read that they are fragrant. Albizia Julibrissin - I guess.

Tulip trees are collectively white and pink.
Purple crepe myrtles if under 20' and jacaranda (not sure of spelling but they are all over Glendale and Pasadena) if really towering. They have bell like flowers that drop adjectives over the road and cars...gorgeous and messy like a small little girl.
Answers: If the blossoms are large and sweet smelling..I would say it is the Tulip Tree.
Could be Magnolia trees. ill enunciate tibouchina
