Waiting for the bloom!

I have this gorgeous tree outside the front of our house and at the moment it is laden down with buds that look like they are going to explode into colour any minute. The petals are a vibrant purple colour and when these all open up it going to be spectacular.

OH I just did a little bit of research ( got to love Google) and it is a  TIBOUCHINA  tree..if you want to know more ( and are the gardening type) click HERE for some more info.

Bloom 050 (1216 x 2160)

I was trying to get a good photo of these buds the other day and the wind was blowing the branches all over the place but you can sort of get the idea how plentiful they are...I think it is a little bit exciting and keep checking every so often to see if they have opened out yet....

Hope you are having a lovely day,

  • Hi and thank you for visiting. My name is Linda and I live on a sunny tropical island in Queensland Australia. This blog used to be called Lilly Cottage and within its archives you will find many many posts about my gorgeous little cottage shop that was at Old Petrie Town. I had a shop there with my friend Laura for over four years though had to close it due to my nasty MS. Now I am sea changing, creating and loving life at a slightly slower pace ( I said slightly). Enjoy my blog. Kiss Noises Linda
