Love At First Sight

‘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. 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.
