Well, the threat of rain went away so Erika wanted to do some Aldi shopping at Raymond Terrace because on the way we had to drive via the Jacaranda alleyway, and how nice that turned out to be. šš
UQ has many jacaranda trees - the flowering of them symbolises nearing the end of the academic year.
This Plant series are photographs taken from my garden, other people's gardens, nature strips, reserves, parks and anywhere really. The aim is to photograph mostly Australian Natives but I'm sure other beautiful plants will find their way into the mix over time.
The Jacaranda is not an Australian native but was introduced, I believe its origins are Central and South America. This was photographed near my mum's place. Some are in front gardens while the series of photos taken looking up at branches and leaves are all from Cremona Road, Como NSW. The street is lined with them and when their flowers fall they make the street look like lavender snow... it's quite beautiful. I've always liked the Jacaranda, it has somewhat of an Asian feel to it.
The reason they are linked to my pinch river profile is because they will inevitably feed into my work at some stage in some way or another, but for now can just be enjoyed as images of beautiful plants that captured my attention and inspired my creativity...

For Our daily Topic - Scattered
A pile of raked grass was piled under a Jacaranda tree and the petals fell constantly making for a pleasing "bed of lilac" under the tree.

I was asked by a few Flickr people to upload some of the Jacaranda pictures as separate images. So here is a selection
This picture taken in the Great Court, Queensland University, St.Lucia
Jacaranda trees are in bloom. I figured I should shoot a couple.
The Jacaranda trees are the ones with the purple blossoms near the center of the photo.

Jardim em Lichinga
Garden in Lichinga, Mozambique
Jacaranda tree of the Bignoniaceae family
A native of South America, Jacaranda is cultivated for ornament, shade and timber.
Oaxaca City - Jacaranda in Bloom, Blvd. NiƱos Heroes de Chapultepec
Plaque
Tropical tree app. 40 ' tall blooming in Westbury subdivision of Houston, Texas. I spotted this over a sound wall on S. Main and went the next day to ask what it wasand the homeowner graciously invited me into her backyard to see it. Rarely seen in Rio Grande Valley as it is too dry there. Although more humid in Houston, this Brazillian native will suffer in prolonged freezes. Jacaranda acutifolia Houston, Texas. May 2008.
Tree found in the savanna (Cerrado) of northern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Bloomed in September.
The seed capsules are heavy, about 9 cm long, wooden, and are shown here:
The Jacaranda mimosifolia is a drought-tolerant, tropical tree. They can grow to be very full and make beautiful canopy trees. When I was a kid there was one street in Ventura that had Jacaranda on both sides of the street. At certain times of the year, driving down that street was like driving through a beautiful purple cave. I have yet to see our Jacaranda in Crescent park get that full. They may not be old enough. I am also surprised to see these planted so close to the cement pad that the bench is on, as the trees grow very wide surface root systems. I assume that the concrete pads of these benches will crack after a few more years.
They need good drainage, and they have no known pests. If there is poor drainage they will grow fungi (mushrooms) around the base.
They make a hell of a mess when they drop their flowers (they are deciduous)
They are by far my favorite tree. The color has much to do with it but I liked them before my favorite color was purple. I think the memory of that street growing up has a lot to do with it.
