This year I have to get my camera out right when they are at their peak! One gets so used to looking at the branches with dangling pods...quite sparse looking really with little green leaf...its an amazing transformation when they finally bloom!<br />Fingers crossed so you can get a ticket!<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-68599729403456703472009-10-07T16:49:40.811+10:002009-10-07T16:49:40.811+10:00I'll be there!

Its lovely to wake up & find one's had lovely visitors leaving heart-warming comments.<br />You've referred to Singapore before which must have been a vastly different experience from where you are now In Vancouver!<br />All that heat of Singapore...I could imagine trees like Poincianas doing well there! The seeds are a little over 2 cms long and as I hold one in my hand - colourwise it is 'streaked blonde and brunette' or I should say beige with brown markings - like certain varieties of beans.<br />good luck with your project and thanks for the encouragement!<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-4552839738040396872009-10-07T06:54:13.131+10:002009-10-07T06:54:13.131+10:00Your drees looks wonderful Sophie, I look forward ...Your drees looks wonderful Sophie, I look forward to seeing it on the night.<br /><br />speak soon.Nicola Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506144570765694814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-51081388949832442822009-10-07T05:14:06.900+10:002009-10-07T05:14:06.900+10:00What gorgeous colors Sophie!
