Tibouchina

Knew when I was out walking, that this suburban front garden beauty would make for my Friday contribution in the floral department.  More often seen though is the purple variety, of this tibouchina.



As you can see, it made for a wonderful eye-catching tall flowering shrub in someone's front garden.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
