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)
