Ever seen a pine tree with pink flowers?

Post by Rory »

This is near my sons school. It is a pine tree, slowly being engulfed by a wisteria which is currently in flower. :)

The North Queensland equivalent would have to be the Bougavillea.
Great photo.

In response to the title of this post :
"No... No I haven't"!

I'm glad that is now rectified by the photo - amazing, never seen anything like it, that is one industrious wisteria! :cool:

When I responded to this post initially, I had a tree in mind.
Went passed it today, unfortunately only had my phone on board for a photo,
still, a lovely spectacle.
Hope you enjoy like I do,
Watty
