Whilst there are certainly Jacarandas here in Yamba - and they present a wonderful display - for me they are not as brilliant as the Poinciana.
Right now there are many such trees in various phases of their spring blossom, whether they be just starting, at the height, or fading off to the summer umbrella of ferny leaves.
Two specimens caught my eye recently so I took my camera with me this morning and captured both of them.
Each image enlarges when clicked.
Note also that the hyperlinks take you to Google Streetviews of the trees in their non-blossom state.
The first - on the main road into Yamba - is almost at the peak of its flowering cycle - I reckon that within a week it will be fully crimson.
The second - opposite the Presbyterian church - is on the upward curve and probably has a few weeks to go before it reaches full flowering.
Nature is beautiful at times.
Beautiful Bruce. And what a joy to see just as we're sliding into Winter here in France with grey skies and gale force winds (admittedly our first for many a month) outside as I type.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Roger.
ReplyDeleteThe blossoms have mostly gone now that we are well into summer and the poincianas have become giant sunshades. Beautiful. :)
