Jacaranda blossom at Petrie Market, Qld.

I think I want to come back as a Jacaranda tree or a horse with one in my paddock!

I dunno Lori, but when I cock up my toes I want to be buried in Jacaranda blossom under a Jacaranda tree...but it will have to be in a UK microclimate where it can grow...wonder if there are any on Tresco..

Do you have a perpetual time share? Don't tell me you've been there too? LOL

No! Sounds decadent doesnt it..all this travel. No we retired in 2005, lost our pooch 2006 so we went all out to make up for lost time going broad. Did four in one year 2008 but two were ridiculously cheap ones and we had saved hard. And my OH had never flown before 2007..he wouldnt..but I booked the seats without telling him and he couldnt bear to lose all that money lol! Now the only thing he hates about flying is the hanging around at airports.

And oddly enough, we havent been to Tresco or any of the Scilly Isles. Just wishful thinking! No, got that wrong - wish for visit, not the circumstances lol!!

Well let's hope the time for that trip is a long time coming... but there are other destinations, how about the Azores?

Do you know, that place has never entered my thoughts.....til now - Ive just googled it...totally unspoiled!

I found mention of it by some goY members who where interested in growing the Echium...It is a tender perennial that grows to great heights in the climate of the Azores. The botanical name is Echium pininana. Have you tried it yet, M?
