🇿🇦💜 In South Africa, the purple spring spectacle has begun — the jacarandas are in bloom! Around 70,000 jacaranda trees grow in Pretoria, which is why the South African capital is nicknamed Jacaranda City. Originally, jacarandas did not grow in South Africa — they were brought from Brazil in the first half of the 19th century. 🔍Fun fact: 📚 In 2025, the Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences updated its orthographic resource “Akademos” — 657 new words were added, including jacaranda (жакара́нда). 📹 Video: https://t.me/rusbig5/2917?single 📸 Photo: from the Russian-speaking community in South Africa #Nature#Jacaranda#Spring#SouthAfrica#FunFact
