JACARANDA TIME IN QUEENSLAND

Yes, it's that time of year again in my part of the world.

Jacaranda time !!


Looking back I see that I seem to post about these lovely trees every year


but they are so spectacularly beautiful I just can't let a year pass


without showing you some new photos of them.


Yesterday's weather was cloudy and did not do them justice.


They are dotted around the whole perimeter of this green park in central Ipswich.


The lovely St Mary's church is there in the background.




Part of their charm is the lovely purple carpet of bells spread on the ground beneath the trees.


Cheers.

  4. Whata fabulous tree! Such a lovely show of colour. I've never heard of it before, but now I'm wondering if one would grow in my cold English garden, lol!
