But until then, I have to enjoy them in other peoples back yards!

You probably meant Poinciana. What a lovely tree, beautiful flower and always a wonderful shape. Aren't you lucky having one nearby.
ReplyDeleteI love the Jacaranda ... we always thought those trees were known as 'Flame Trees'? Was that our southern Victorian ignorance?
ReplyDeleteSharon that first photo should be printed on a canvas and hung up...it's really Aussie outback but has a beautiful mood to it. Great shot, I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteI have one in each front corner of my yard. As well as being wonderful trees for climbing (not that I'm guilty of such foolery) they do provide a wonderfully colourful display every year at this time. I don't have a jacaranda but will be planting one at Bottle Tree. I'm not usually a fan of deciduous trees, but their beauty in flower makes up for the bare branches at other times of the year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I take it you haven't been washed away yet.
