Springtime is mild in Johannesburg. Jacaranda takes over the city with its mauve coat and sits majestically for a season. Its bell-shaped flowers sway in the wind, giving off a bewitching fragrance – a hymn to love. Eager acacias welcome this declaration with fluttering hearts and flushed cheeks. ‘Love at first sight’ is the instant passion of flower scents mingling and intertwining; the intense caress of the freshness of jacaranda succumbs to the honeyed kiss of acacia.
