Gabrielle Beckford, 29, and Khalifa White, 30, were among the first in line to enter the Saturday concert of the 2025 Roots Picnic at the Mann Center. The sisters came down to Philadelphia from their New York City homes. They arrived at the Mann at 10 a.m. They knew they would have to wait until the gates opened at 1 p.m. But 1 p.m. came and went, and Beckford and White kept waiting for hours.

Romanticizing life is easier when purple flowers make traveling around Philly feel like a scene from Bridgerton. But, captivating things can be treacherous. Enchanted by these blossoms, a reader asked Curious Philly, The Inquirer’s forum for questions about the city and region: What are all the beautiful trees with lavender-colored flowers that are seemingly all over? They are not actual flowering trees, said Andrew Bunting, vice president of horticulture at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
