jacaranda n a tropical American tree with sweet-smelling wood and pale purple flowers [from a Native American language]
The second I saw the word purple (my favourite colour) I had to find a photo of a jacaranda tree - it's soooo pretty! :)
I want one!
Which is a shame as it sounds as though it is really difficult to grow them in the UK - so I probably can't have one! Unless I move to a hotter country or something...
That's my exclamation mark quota all used up so I guess I'll just have to keep looking out of the window at my other favourite blossoming tree - cherry blossom... which is also soooo pretty.
So there we are jacaranda trees (and cherry blossom too :) ).

I love jacarandas, they grow in the south so have seen them many times.
Didn't realise you were in the UK Chippy. Whereabouts?

What a beautiful tree! I have never seen nor heard of the jacarandas, guess it's too cold where I live too. Right now the cherry blossoms are out.
This is so pretty! Lovely picture!

That tree is beautiful!!
@ Jo - I am in Yorkshire... so probably too cold for Jacaranda trees - maybe if I lived in Cornwall or on the Channel Islands I could give it a whirl.
Or maybe I could get a greenhouse big enough to grow a tree in...
Well you could start with a small greenhouse and keep extending it to fit the size of the tree!!
I was born in Cheshire although lived most of my UK life in Kent.

What a pretty tree! As it apparently has sweet smelling wood I wonder if you can get jacaranda scented incense? Then you could burn some and pretend you had a tree :)
Nice post, I'm so glad to have discovered your blog through this challenge and I like to learn the new words that you blog about.
