I used to think that purple trees were just something to be dreamed up, or perhaps only existed in the world of Dr. Seuss and the Lorax.
What's unique about this tree is that while yes I admit the purple comes from blossoms and not the leaves, the blossoms stay on the trees for weeks, even months. Most of the other trees here have pretty blooms for a week or two that quickly dropped once the leaf buds began to push through. I live in a fairly tree-lined neighborhood, so I have really enjoyed my walks lately.
With Sydney's spring season I have discovered purple trees or not mythical or imaginary, but actually quite real. I introduce you to the Jacaranda.
