Of course I remember the jacarandas in Brisbane but I don' remember the flame trees ... the red that sticks in my mind are the poincianas and poinsettias.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-46215096074454847492009-10-31T07:44:04.483+10:002009-10-31T07:44:04.483+10:00Diane, both trees are so pretty and colorful.

We have Jacaranda's growing in pots on the deck in cold Canberra; I'm not sure if they'll ever flower, but the leaves are attractive anyway.<br /><br />There are a lot of Illawarra Flame Trees growing along the far south coast of NSW, but I haven't tried one here yet.<br /><br />Since Brisbane doesn't have the stunning autumn leaves, you deserve to have beautiful spring ones.<br /><br />Do you have either of these trees in your own garden, Diane?Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-38461768217449138172009-10-30T02:04:07.511+10:002009-10-30T02:04:07.511+10:00I felt in love with the first one, just gorgeous, ...I felt in love with the first one, just gorgeous, I haven't seen such a color here in spring !

I did that to all my blog photos in my last post and they do look sharper. I have to much to learn! Someone suggested I use Live Writer program as it automatically enlarges photos but I tried that a few times and didn't like the results.<br /><br />Do you enlarge your photos yourself? May I ask what setting that you use for height and width? Do you take your photos on your camera in any special settings? I am confused as to if I should use high quality fine settings or lower on my SLR camera? <br /><br />Thanks for all your help! I appreciate it very much!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-48920420288984714662009-10-29T04:03:28.155+10:002009-10-29T04:03:28.155+10:00Those are beautiful trees!
