Next will come those big round seed pods and little jacarandas sprouting everywhere...then the tiny yellowed leaves will blow into the house. They are the messiest tree to park your car under or have next to the house but I love them...I just adore that particularly beautiful blue!Naturally Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999271127735997770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-16587568721798164232010-11-26T21:00:40.435+11:002010-11-26T21:00:40.435+11:00I've been able to see these gorgeous trees whe...I've been able to see these gorgeous trees wherever I've lived. I love the purple carpet under each one when the flowers fall and I love the shape of the bare branches against the blue sky in winter too. <br />When I lived in Brisbane in 1973-5 our yard had three of these trees and we hung a swing on one for our firstborn to play.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-80685226768180652032010-11-26T18:51:19.263+11:002010-11-26T18:51:19.263+11:00They certainly are beautiful and quite prolific ar...They certainly are beautiful and quite prolific around these parts.

It's so true. They're a truly beautiful tree. I didn't know you'd lived in Fibrotown as a child.

There is a smallish one in the front yard opposite my place, and they dot this entire area. Every day of my birthday month, they make me smile in their lilac exuberance. <br /><br />When I was about 10-12, my Dad and I lived in a house in this area that had a huge and ancient one. It had lovely low sweeping branches wide enough for my young self to lie along, or prop myself against its broad trunk and stretch my legs out in front of me as I read, wrote, drew or dreamed.
