又見藍花楹 那一抹醉人的紫 Jacaranda Tree

有人說,夢想是藍色的,就像是廣闊的天空.  有人說,幸福是綠色的,那是希望的美麗。

能讓你感受到夢想和幸福的味道:寧靜,深遠,憂鬱靜謐,開闊 的植物——藍花楹。

Like a sea of lavender, the incomparable blooms flood the tree prior to any leaves, making their striking appearance that much more magnificent.

日子真是過得很快,怎麼感覺上一次的艷藍盛開才不久之前? 藍花楹 正渲染著聖地牙哥的天空!

像是被染上一抹紫色,處處都可見Jacaranda藍花楹樹,枝頭上的風景由綠轉紫,盛開時像是下了場紫色的雨,落一地紫色的花瓣,浪漫極了!

Jacaranda 是紫葳科藍花楹屬的植物,別名是巴西紫葳.

藍花楹的花語:寧靜,深遠,憂鬱靜謐,開闊,冷淡,了無朝氣,穩健,幽邃,清麗脫俗和在絕望中等待愛情,雖敗猶榮。

藍花楹的花形顏色都很可人。

The powerful trunk and thick branches that hoist all those lovely blooms are strong and resilient.

每到了 Jacaranda 盛開的時候,麥寶家附近的這道路兩侧的藍花楹樹的枝頭就都開满了藍紫色的花朵,地面上也被散落的花瓣铺上了一層薄薄的地毯。

“They’re pretty, but sticky. If they get on your car it’s like getting married all over again when you drive off,” [1]

這美麗的花瓣很黏,掉在地上 帶進家裏 或掉在車上 都很難處理。所以 有人對他是 愛恨交接的情仇啊……

Jacarandas look stunning on their own as a specimen tree in an open lawn, where their fallen flowers form a colourful carpet of blue.

It’s a tough tree that grows to heights of 40 feet and will thrive in a variety of soil types.

麥寶娘親 去年冬天種了樹苗 ..長很快..

Not only that, it’s drought tolerant and will do well in a diversity of planting locations throughout your garden or landscape.

幸福是一種感覺,一種心態,無論幸福是什麼顏色,幸福就在你自己的心中。

壯觀的紫色 正在聖地牙哥 春天,記得要把握這賞花海的幸福日子,感受濃濃浪漫~ 而趁著這春暖紫花開的好日子,出門到處走走.

藍花楹的傳說

在藍花楹盛開的季節,到處都是迷幻絢爛的藍花,美不勝收,它有一個悽美的愛情傳說,民國年間,一位千金小姐曉蘭和一個落魄書生黃心英相愛,可男方拮据,連聘禮都拿不出,只能下南洋淘金,兩人相約三年後無論貧富永結同心。黃心英走後,從南洋捎來一棵藍花楹,曉蘭將其細心栽培在後花園中。三年後,心英未歸,曉蘭卻收到一封信,讓她嫁人不必再等。女傷心欲絕,大病一場,在家人的安排下準備嫁給城西的大官人,出嫁前,終從心英母親口中得知,原來心英在南洋時早已得病身亡,怕誤女終身,遂謊稱變心。曉蘭隨心英去了。以後,藍花楹化身為一棵棵挺立等待的開滿藍花的樹。傳說倘藍花楹盛開且月圓之時,能從樹梢上聽到喃喃細語之聲。若男女情侶相攜在樹下許個願,就能白頭偕老,牽手一生。而且藍花楹冬天葉子掉完代表是絕望,但春天一來開滿紫色花驚煞旁人。所以叫在絕望中等待愛情。
