My mum and I used to count jacarandas on the way to primary school. We started with the one in our own backyard, of course :)

At Sydney University there exists an expression: “by the time the Jacaranda in the main quadrangle flowers, it's too late to start studying for exams�?. At the University of Queensland students even maintain a joke superstition that if a Jacaranda bloom falls on their head during exam time, they will fail an exam. The bad luck can be broken by catching another bloom before it hits the ground.
