Just by the way ....
Remember my Jacaranda ?
Well, it sprouted this Spring. And looking good. Remember.... two years ago, it was almost dead. Its Twin died, uprooted by a Winter's storm, and then I decided to simply put a Lakhovsky copper ring around the survivor, and see if it kept up fighting the odds.
It is fighting. This Jacaranda is a mean mother and will not give up.
I took a pic of it last May 1st (with my new Samsung shitty phone ... Oh Gods, how I miss my Blackberry ! so this shitty pic is what I got)
See it below ....
