I talked to a friend in UK about 梧桐树 which in Chinese we say as tóng tree , in English we say,tung tree , and then
she sent me several pictures of jacarandas to ask if they were the tree I was
talking about. This is the tree I had never heard and seen before. Though
stunning beautiful with purple blossoms. they are, I told my friend , not seemingly 梧桐树
grown in China due to looking very different from its appearance. Unknown to
many of us yet , the jacaranda strikes us very much by its beautiful. Then, one of my Chinese friends replied that she first saw jacaranda in Kunming, a southwestern city in China.
