California's Gold with Huell Howser
Jacaranda
Huell, with the help of his friends from the Braille Institute, learns about the history of jacaranda trees in California, which dates back to the 1890s when horticulturalist Kate Sessions first planted the seeds in Balboa Park. The blooming purple trees can now be seen all across the state, and Huell finds out that some people call the jacarandas a "mess" while others call them a "miracle."
