In May, the streets of Orange County are purple with Jacaranda trees. These trees only bloom for a few weeks, but for that time, you can see Jacaranda trees everywhere! Seriously! The purple of their blooms is gorgeous and very vibrant and you can see them from quite a distance. We have one in our front yard so Emmerly quickly learned what it was and for several weeks, every time she saw one, she would shout "JACARANDA!!" She was so excited to see them everywhere! One day we were riding to a choir festival on the bus with Scott's students, and every few seconds you could hear Emmerly - jacaranda.....jacaranda.....jacaranda!! Most of the students didn't even know what "that purple tree" was and were amazed that Em did and that she could pronounce it! Now most of the blooms are gone, but a few trees have some purple left and every once in a while when we spot one, of course Em shouts "Jacaranda!"

In the book I'm reading, "The Power of One" he speaks of the beautiful Jacaranda tree in South Africa! I would not have known what he was referring to without this post!!! Thanks.........
