Summary

Description Pretoria in South Africa is popularly known as The Jacaranda City due to the enormous number of Jacaranda trees planted as street trees and in parks and gardens. In flowering time the city appears blue/purple in colour when seen from the nearby hills because of all the Jacaranda trees. The time of year the Jacarandas bloom in Pretoria coincides with the year-end exams and legend has it that if a flower from the Jacaranda tree drops on your head, you will pass all your exams. This was however taken in Johannesburg.
