Colors of the trees

I have now gathered a wide collection of tree portraits. In Australia you can find many blossoming trees that add colors and beauty to the city landscape. Big flowers and lots of colours is what make the trees here so nice. I don't know all the names, but it is still fun to see them blossom.  

In parks, backyards or just on the sides of the road one can observe the nice colors that trees offer. Lots of flowers that blossom for a long time let us enjoy the trees. In Latvia you can find Chestnut trees (aesculus hippocastanum) with lots of big flowers. Here almost every tree has huge flowers that cover the entire tree, that you can't even see the leaves.

The hills of flowers brighten up the usually grey colors of stone and concrete. That is why the buildings with reflective glass facades are useful - they reflect the colors back into the city.  The colors are coming out of the high-rise office buildings where grey people spend their grey working hours.

It's nice that most of the trees here don't drop their leaves. Different trees blosson at different times and it's never all grey or green. You can always find a tree that's blossoming, each specie thinks that spring has arrived at different times through the year. So you can always find some plant that will be ready to awaken with you and start blossoming, so you can notice that spring is in your heart.

I have gathered all the big flower portraits that I have enjoyed during my stay here in Australia. There are plenty more out there, so I will be outside taking new photos soon and enjoying the colors that in the bright sunlight look twice as bright.
I'll do my best to get all the names of these plants and add to this post. So if you are interested, I kindly welcome you back. 

Pyrostegia venusta vai Pyrostegia ignea, Flame vine jeb Orange Trumpet Creeper

Acacia pycnantha or Golden Wattle. Indigenous peoples of Australia soaked the gum of the golden wattle in water and honey to produce a sweet, toffee-like substance. The tannin from the bark was known for its antiseptic properties. Colonial settlers cultivated the golden wattle using the bark in the tanning industry, the gum for glues and the blossom for its honey. The golden wattle was unofficially accepted as the national floral emblem to mark Federation in 1901.

Plumeria or frangipani - related to Oleander, nice fragrant tree.
