Come On Spring, Do Your Thing



Don't you just love spring? Yeah, I know it's been happening for a couple of months now but I look forward to seeing the Jacaranda in flower all winter long, and when the purple rain begins, well it's a thing of magic. But spare a thought for the equally glorious Illawarra Flame Tree, a tree which has the temerity to loose all its leaves and flower bright red every spring. I have decided that I love the flame tree and all her red flaming beauty.

Here is a picture.

You are a good judge, Marianne. The Flame tree is alright. I also spend all of Winter looking at Jacaranda's urginng them to prematurely pollinate.

The Cook Islands are laden with Flame Trees.
