RE: Time for Jacaranda mimosifolia

in WE ARE MOVING6 months ago

Hi @mipiano, we have Jacarandas in our country, obviously not indigenous, but you see them everywhere, and they are simply stunning. Our neighbours have a large tree, and I've also tried to take photos of it, but it does not do any justice to what we see with the naked eye. We do have a purple carpet on our paved pathway as the blossoms are blown our way, it looks very pretty.
Your one close-up image is stunning though!
We had Jacarandas at my old school, and when they bloomed, we knew year-end exams were upon us!
Our capital city Pretoria, is known as the Jacaranda City, they have avenues of Jacarandas and the city is dotted with purple flowers when in bloom, really beautiful as can be seen in the link!
Have a great Friday.

Having a purple carpet under your feet sounds like living in a dream world ✨ though I hope it doesn't mean that you have to clean the pathway many times 😅

Thank you so much for the link you have shared, I didn't know that about Pretoria but those Jacarandas look amazing 😍. Indeed, like a city dotted with purple flowers 💜 . It's beautiful, thank you for letting me know 😇

Great Friday to you too, dear @lizelle !

Yep, we're almost reluctant to sweep it, but a new carpet shows up overnight, especially when it's windy.
The weekend's here, enjoy it, lovely lady <3
