I wish someone would genetically engineer jacarandas so their blooms would last at least three times longer as by the time one realizes they're in bloom they're already making the ground mauve. The show is almost over before it starts. Incidentally, that grouped listing of jacarandas in Sydney doesn't give a realistic picture of the total number of jacarandas. There are thousands of individual trees that transform the streets and you'd never know it from those figures.
