I have narrowed it down to one of these trees.
The yellow,
the purple,
or the orangie-red????
This last tree is called an african tulip tree.
I have wanted one of these for years,
but they get huge.
Which tree do you like?

I love the purple one but can never find out the name,
ReplyDeletethere are a couple of boulevards here with a short stretch of them and they are very pretty....that tulip tree is gorgeous never ever have seen one!
The purple jacaranda is just beautiful and one of my favourite trees and if it is placed next to a red poinciana (which has the same growth patter and is not unlike the tulip tree) you could be living in Brisbane!!!!!xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe African tulip...but how does it do with the cold???!
ReplyDeleteI'll have them all but the second, the Jacaranda, is one I've always loved. Unfortunately, the climate for it is too cool where I live! Lovely post, lovely colour!
ReplyDeleteIt's the purple for me Renee. I love lilac, wisteria. pale purple, blue and white in the garden..... and, a lot of green, although, I haven't ventured out into our garden yet.....it's freezing here. XXXX
ReplyDeleteit is looking like the jacaranda.
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous and bloom all summer here.
and omg are our summers long!
we know i want the tulip tree
but it is tall and messy.
it really is between the yellow and the purple.
thank you guys.
i have been going over and over with this for over a year.
i am so glad i have YOU!!!
MY BUDS!!!!
xxxx
Love them all... I will take one of each!
ReplyDeletewhat??!!! you can't have all 3?..
ReplyDeletegorgeous trees, what are their soil, sun, moisture requirements? are they susceptible to insects or disease? do they need pruning or are they messy and drop large leaves, branches, seed pods, etc? just some thoughts...I'd pick the one that requires the least amount of maintenance, personally...

I don't know what it's called but we have the purple one in white and it is gorgeous!! Thank you so much for the prayers Renee. It means a lot. And you are right, what they are doing is horrible.
ReplyDeleteRenee,
ReplyDeleteLove all three why limit thee? You can grow them in big mobile planter/pots from seeds. Look into a drawf versions of these trees. My favorite is the Jacaranda they love the heat.
Bette
the yellow!
ReplyDeleteI like the yellow and the orangish red! No plurple for me!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Love all of them. I'd plant all of them. Ha! Nature never clashes.
ReplyDeleteBut if you have to choose, I'd go with the lavendar. So softly beautiful in the bright Florida sun.
Hi Renee!
ReplyDeleteI Love, love the purple, and I don't think it is purple it kind of has a lavender feel to it, is it wisteria?????? Maryanne xo
omg...they are all gorgeous! I've never seen an african tuplip tree! wow.
ReplyDeleteLove them all...thank you for the Florida sunshine on this cold Virginia day!...k
ReplyDeletethank you
ReplyDeletebut i am still torn between the yellow and the purple.
now i guess i need to find out which one blooms the longest.
that should make my decision.
thanks

They're all so beautiful. If I had to pick one, it would be the jacaranda.
ReplyDeleteIn this Florida Highwayman painting by Sam Newton, the red, the yellow and the purple trees are all together:
