It’s Jacaranda season in Sydney – that time of the year when the city is gripped in smurf-like fever. You will find these beautiful trees laden with blue/purple flowers all around the Sydney CBD and it’s suburbs.
Recently, the current and former alumni of the University of Sydney mourned the collapse of 88 year old Jacaranda tree, which had been flowering in the campus since 1928. There’s a common folklore that any undergraduate who hasn’t studied when the first bloom appears on the tree, will fail the exams.

Lovely flowers on those trees. I think Bangalore too has those trees or it could be a different variety. But these are beautiful. the colors and the vivaciousness. Poor old tree that fell down and those students who won't pass now. 😛
Lavender is my favorite color. I would love to be there sometime in the future to see the trees. Sad to know about the collapsed tree 🙁
What stunning captures! Really sad to see that old tree fall 🙁
Simply beautiful. The color is so rich.
Oh wow Raj – different season than over here in Europe – sooooo beautiful and a bit sad though… Sending hugs my friend:-)
What a breathtaking view of these flowery trees, Rajlakshmi! The students must have been lucky to enjoy this sight as they studied their books!
Such beautiful pictures! Sad to know about the fall of the tree, though.
Tress stay long in memories especially those in college. sad that the Jacaranda tree fell, it would have made lives better for many students.

Oh, sad to knock that…it would have provided happiness to too many students in its life…and results for college too 😊
What a gorgeous sight these trees must be!
I would mourn the collapse of that 88 year old tree as well, as I am sure it must have been a beautiful sight when it was in all it's glory!:)
