For a few weeks in October Brisbane turns a beautiful purple colour as the jacaranda trees flower
I was surprised to find that the jacaranda isn't an Australian tree but was introduced from Brazil and planted by the early colonists to beautify the countryside. It may have been a different way of looking at the world to how we see indigenous flora today but it worked.
You beat me to it mikey, I had a post in the wings on our purple haze. I so love these trees, they truly light up Brisbane with their purple delight. And the petals everywhere is a litter I love to see. Thanks for devoting cyber space to them ��miff
