Bauhinia Time
By Estelle Thomson
Flowering trees and shrubs make a pageant of the year in Brisbane streets.
October has the tawny gold and the ineffable blue of silky oak and jacaranda, and November the fresh loveliness of the single pink oleander.
The height of summer sees flamboyant ponsiana, and at Easter we have the cassia’s gold.
In May and June the scarlet banners of the poinsettia are hung out, and as they become a little tattered in July the wattle bursts into a foam of yellow. In August and September we have the bauhinias.
The bauhinias are native in many tropical countries, and are such favourites as ornamental trees that they are to be found wherever they will grow.
