Sessions,Originally from San Francisco Bay Area, educated at UC Berkeley in 1881 Kate Sessions eventually moves to San Diego where she known as the “Mother of Balboa Park” In here work as a botanist she travel extensively searching for plants to bring back to the park “Among many other plant introductions, she is credited with importing and popularizing the jacaranda, now very familiar in the city” and the rest of California. Jacaranda are a familiar street all around where I live Each spring we go on Jacaranda hunts I thought I had missed out this year until I came upon these beauties 3 blocks from home.
One last look at Miss Kate Sessions

What a treat she introduced. I adore jacaranda, and always a enjoy a spring trip to Spain and Portugal, as it’s not a treat I get at home.

I’m thrilled to find this tree 3 blocks from my home. Tempted to plant my own 🌝 I thought they were just in Mexico and SoCal. Hope you get to Spain soon.
