Committed Stitcher: Pretty Purple Flowers

Pretty Purple Flowers

In the spring, these trees with purple flowers bloom along the streets. They're beautiful, even if they have sticky sap. I have no idea what kind of tree it is. The leaves look like acacias or locusts, being compound opposite with about 11-15 leaflets. If you know what they are, please tell me! In the meantime, enjoy the pictures.

They bloom in summer, in early November here, so Aussies associate it with Christmas :)

There are HEAPS of them lining the streets where I live, so pretty in full bloom.; December 29, 2010 at 2:04:00 AM GMT+2
