A friend of mine (@hazeldickens) recently asked @HayleyEversKing and I; “Can you see the #Jacaranda trees, which bloom every year in #Pretoria, from space?”…#thread (1/n)
For those that have never seen them; #Jacarandas grow all over #Pretoria & #Johannesburg & each year explode in an incredible purple display between September & November. We saw these when we visited @UPTuks in 2011, on an @Access_HP course & they are stunning! (2/n)
We’re not land remote sensing aficionados (ocean please!), but decided to have a look using @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO #Sentinel2 data. We started by comparing a time of year when we know the trees are in bloom (now), with one where we know that weren’t (July) (3/n)
Have been following @sidagarwal's #FiftyTrees and was nudged by @SloganMurugan to join in soon. So, I'm now joining the lovely @AratiKumarRao to post photos of #NammaOorinaMaragalu #NOM #trees

Contrary to popular belief, the Gulmohar is not a native species; it comes from Madagascar.
