Did not know, you have Jacarandas in Australia as well, for they come from South America originally. What a coincidence. Actually, I have a Jacaranda tree seedling on my balcony. I took the seed with me from Lisbon (Portugal), where these trees can survive the winter and are a quite familiar sight along the streets. Now my little Jac. has shed the leaves and I'll have to take it in soon bevore night frosts become to strong. Love this shot! Will see if I can find a Jacaranda-in-flower-shot from Lisbon...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704229933093060803.post-72320202895361150792008-11-18T19:44:00.000+11:002008-11-18T19:44:00.000+11:00Jacaranda's are one of my favouriteJacaranda's are one of my favouriteMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069547070373964624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704229933093060803.post-89383466526299314122008-11-18T15:10:00.000+11:002008-11-18T15:10:00.000+11:00wow. i have never seen a tree this color...wow. i have never seen a tree this color...kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704229933093060803.post-42888143043064927432008-11-18T13:19:00.000+11:002008-11-18T13:19:00.000+11:00Even the stubborn old cow camera cannot make that ...Even the stubborn old cow camera cannot make that tree any less beautiful.
