Thursday Postcard Hunt - Colorful Trees/Flowers

Thursday Postcard Hunt gives us Colorful Trees and/or Flowers for the first of May's theme, Colorful.

Meal Under the Trees, from a painting by Nicole Legault.

North Carolina Long Leaf Pine showing the previous year's cone, the growing cone with lavender flowers and embryo cone with matures 1.5 years later.


The Jacaranda Trees in Florida.


Up next week is Colorful Skies.

Not a postcard, but to add to the colorful pine flowers, this is a photo I took at the nearby park a few years ago of Ponderosa Pine flowers and previous year's cones.  I think they are prettier than the North Carolina pines!

  1. I have never seen jacaranda trees in bloom and I have a feeling pictures (or postcards) wouldn't do them justice.

    1. They all seem to bloom at once. And then those purple flowers are everywhere. Kinda a mess.

  5. Oh, jacaranda are wonderful trees! You stay near them when the breeze flows, and a light rain of blue flowers covers you :)
    Your pictures are amazing.

  6. Oh dear, I've just looked up 'jacaranda'. I've always liked the name and the look, but have now read up on the mess they create! The first card is so serene.
