我家院子裡的紫樹 Purple Trees at my house (澳大利亞昆士蘭州 Queensland, Australia)

CN區的朋友們好，今天要介紹澳洲一種特別的紫樹。剛好有幾棵就長在我家的院子裡，所以開門後走幾步路就可以拍一些照片給大家看。

Hello my friends, today I want to introduce a special purple tree in Australia. Coincidentally there are a few of these in my front yard, so I only have to open the door and walk outside to take some pictures for you.

大家可能在想，怎麼半紫半綠的呢? 其實這種樹在澳洲十月(春天)才會開花，一直到十一月初都可以看到紫色的花。平常就是綠的。

You're probably thinking, why is it half purple half green? It's because the purple flowers only bloom in October until early November. Otherwise the tree is green.

從我家大門口另一個角度照，紫樹看起來比較清楚。這樹叫做紫花楹 (Jacaranda), 再過幾個禮拜就會變回綠的，然後要再等一年才能看到紫花。這讓我想起了以前發文介紹過的韓國櫻花。紫楹花和櫻花一樣都在春天開花，只不過澳洲的春天是韓國的秋天，而韓國的春天則是澳洲的秋天。

Walking towards the front gate and taking a picture from the opposite angle, so you can see the tree better. This tree is called Jacaranda, it will only be purple for another couple of weeks then it will turn green again for another year. It reminds me of the cherry blossom in South Korea which was in my previous articles.

紫色的花謝了，掉在地上也很美。After the flowers fall onto the ground, they still look very beautiful.
