A favorite street on our travels into town is what we call Jacaranda Lane. I have no idea if there really is a name for this street, but it does describe the beautiful purple flowers on the trees that come out in Tanzanian spring. When they begin to fall from the trees, a beautiful purple carpet blankets the road.
Lining the sides of this road , however, are vendors selling plants of every color, shape, and texture. They find any available space along the road, and grow plants in old grocery bags.
Since you understand that we are plant-lovers, I am sure you can see why this is one of our favorite places to drive. Unfortunately, Susan nearly always finds something new she wants to add to our gardens. (Ha-ha!)
