It's Jacaranda time in Sydney again. Perhaps the most scenic time of the year. Mind you, it seems to be coming a little earlier each year. I used to associate jacarandas with November, maybe starting in late October. But this year the season was underway right from the beginning of October. Winter was unusually hot, and dry too. We've had very little rain for over three months.
You used to see a lot of Illawarra flame trees planted alongside jacarandas. They made quite a spectacular colour combination. The flame trees have a bit of a bad name these days, what with invasive roots and irritating seeds, and I'm not seeing so many. There again, maybe the jacarandas have got ahead of themselves, and the flame trees will flower after they've gone.
