| Pretoria Jacaranda Trees |
"The name JACARANDA is believed to be of Guarani origin, meaning fragrant." Wikipedia. Its a nice name, I think. But what is even more interesting is that "The Chinese use the leaves to make a distinctive purple dye" and that "Brazilian Jacaranda is also used as the wood for the body of acoustic guitars".
I live in the city passionately refered to as the Jacaranda city (Pretoria, South Africa). These trees grace our city with a purple glow every single year, in October. Its a beautiful reminder that its still Spring and close to the year end. Gorgeous reminder in that. Almost everyday I drive or walk past Jacaranda trees. I never tire of them.
