G'day Richard

In several of my books, including one by Stirling Macoboy, it says they
come in white, pink or red, as well as mauve.

I've got two Crepe Myrtles that are a deep, red/pink although they were
labelled differently when I bought them, because I wouldn't have bought
two of the same colour for a surburban garden.

The white type grows double the size of the blue/mauve. So unless you have
acreage forget it. Go for a crepe myrtle instead you won't regret it and
make sure it is mildew resistant. They are available in pink, white and
possibly creme.

As an aside Jacarandas take 5 years to flower form seed. They take 2 years
from a cutting from a mature tree.

G'day

I've decided a Jacaranda would be perfect for the side garden, but as I've
kept to pink/burgundy/cream/white for the garden colour scheme this means
a Pink Jacaranda would be more suitable.

Does anyone have, or know of, a Pink Jacaranda where I could get some
seeds please? A young tree would be preferable but in searches so far
most are the mauve variety, which are really, really pretty but don't suit
my colour scheme.

Thanks for any suggestions.
