South America

The South American section is planted to the right of the back lawn, next to the Rainforest. The golden Tabebuia (Tabebuia chrystotricha) is generally in blossom  in September), a spectacular sight. 

There is also a purple form of Tabebuia (longifolia) planted close to the entrance to the rainforest, and this blossoms earlier (August).

 Jacarandas ranging in colour from white to pink and the more familiar mauve, Cassias, and Sennas have spectacular blossoms, making this an area much photographed in spring and summer. The leopard tree is famous for the beautiful blotched bark on the trunk.
