Popular wisdom has it that if you have not begun studying by the time the jacaranda blooms, you are not going to pass your exams...The jacaranda blooms in October/November, when end-of-year exams are written, before the summer holidays. My tree is sometimes a bit late, but was on time this year. My daughter is writing her final high school exams and is ALMOST finished. Soon we shall both be relieved.
The blossoms all fall onto the grass in a gorgeous lilac carpet.Last year, spring came and went without cheer; this year, at last, I can enjoy its beauty...

When I was at school many moons ago we would sit under the tree to study because if a blossom fell on your head it would mean you would pass the exam you were studying for. Many of us were stung by bees in the process.
Good luck for your daughter's exams!
