Talk:Jacaranda mimosifolia

Color of the tree

perhaps the color of the flower is not blue, but indigo [unsigned]

I'd agree that indigo would be a better term to use in this article. It's more precise than "blue," which doesn't seem to accurately capture the color of the tree to my eyes. If a third person agrees on this point, please implement the change. - Sdkb (talk) 09:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

I too would agree. But a the risk of being pedantic, indigo is a deeper darker richer colour and is the second last colour in a rainbow. Is a better description "pale indigo"? Aoziwe (talk) 17:26, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

I disagree, not only for the pedantic reason given by Aoziwe, but also because the indigo article itself does not support this usage. The indigo article shows indigo dye, and darker blues and purples, which means anyone clicking on the link, or hovering with a cursor, will be get confusing, misleading information about the actual color of the flowers. Either Lavender_(color) or Periwinkle_(color) would be a better choice, as both common usage and their Wikipedia articles describe a much-closer-to-jacaranda-flowers range of colors.

Hmmm? On reflection, given Indigo#Distinction among the four major tones of indigo, I perhaps agree. Lavender_(color) as you suggest is probably better, which by the way to my eye is pale indigo! Either way to my eye it is definitely not blue. Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 10:54, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

South American trees

For being a South American species there is a notorious lack of information and pictures in this article that place it in said continent.

To add few

Dear Admin, This is Kabir, I am from India.. I would like to add few information about this tree, could you please allow me to add some content?

Best Regards, Kabir. Kabir06 (talk) 20:31, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

@Kabir06: You need to support your additions by citing one or more WP:Reliable sources. Information in Wikipedia must be WP:Verifiable. I do not doubt your good faith, but verifiability is one of the fundamental principles of Wikipedia: everything in it should be supported by at least one good independent source. (I know stuff about a couple of articles which I cannot add because it comes only from personal knowledge, and thus would fall under the ban against WP:Original research.)

Don't be discouraged. If you can support additions with good references, you will be fulfilling the aim of the project Narky Blert (talk) 21:32, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
