It is Spring in Brisbane

Springtime in Brisbane. The flowers are blooming. And I have changed the header of this blog again. It is a picture of Semarak Api, one of the prominent flower in Spring. You may say, "Ala.... nie pun ada kat Malaysia". Could not agree less. Climate kat sini is almost like Malaysia (especially in spring), it is sort of tropical. That is why Queensland is also known as Tropical state. Current temperature is 30.9 deg, it is sunny outside.

These are recycle pictures, taken exactly one year ago. This semarak tree is at the outside of our master bedroom balcony. Actually, at this moment, tak banyak bunga keluar lagi, not like this picture.

Haaa...it is almost like this laaa now (gambar bawah).... soon akan lebat la bunga-bungaan tu macam kat gambar atas nie. Yaya with a semarak api.

Haa this is Jakaranda. Please don't ask me about the origin of the name ok (sama juga nama semarak api dalam english). Ikut aje orang2 kat sini panggil ape. Nie masa mula-mula berputik.

dan berkembang macam nie.......

Yang menariknya, bunga-bunga kat sini tak berkembang serentak. Mula-mula, Jakaranda nie akan kembang dulu, and at this time, you can see Jakaranda everywhere. Purple aje... sampai mata pun naik purple. This specific Jakaranda is at our front balcony. Lepas tu Jakaranda akan mengecut, gugur, dan rumput-rumput pun dilitupi dengan bunga-bunga Jakaranda yang gugur ini. Pemandangan pada waktu nie...sangat-sangat indah. Masa Jakaranda nie gugur, Semarak Api pulak mula berkembang. Lepas nie pulak ada satu lagi bunga, warna kuning pulak (tak tau nama dia, nanti buat research pasal bunga tu) punya giliran. Menarikkan, SubhanAllah.

Haaa selain daripada bunga-bunga nie.. ada bunga kemboja, jasmin, kesidang, n macam-macam bunga yang kite bleh jumpe kat Malaysia.

There is a Spring flower festival at Toowoomba, happen every end of September. Belum ada kesempatan gi lagi. I must go next year.
