Jacaranda mimosifolia

The Jacaranda is a popular, sub-tropical, medium-sized, deciduous tree originating from South America.
 This attractive tree has a decorative, spreading canopy covered with fern-like pinnate leaflets. 
During Spring prolific clusters of blue flowers make for a spectacular show.  


We drove to Apple Cross today, the suburban streets at the moment are filled with Jacaranda trees on both sides of the verge, the fragrance from them was subtle and strong, the petals were falling like soft purple snow, stunning!
 Just a lovely day today, we ate lunch on the river bank, perfect..
