Default Jacarandas in the UK?

"Bob Hobden" wrote in message ...
During the week we went to the Wetlands and Wildfowl Trust place at Barnes
for the look see and whilst there I notices a couple of small trees, about
15ft tall, that had erect racemes of large Penstemen like blue flowers. Now
they looked like Jacaranda to me but I haven't yet had a reply from them
about these trees.
If anyone lives near Barnes and fancies taking a look, they are in the
Americas bit if I remember correctly planted amongst other bushes etc. near
one of the entrances/exits.
It's a rather flat exposed site too.


Could it have been a Paulownia? Ours is in full flower now.
