Lots of Jacaranda and Albizzias here as well, although Jacaranda is a late spring/summer flowering tree here.
Great trees for slinging hammocks between.
Your climate is amazing that you can have Jacaranda trees at the same latitude as me, and here in this landmass it is confined down to 26-28N latitude. Sheesh. And you wonder why I call this a geography fail landmass.
That tree is tropical isn't it? The pics I've seen that tree is really beautiful. Lol it is probably grown all over Australia right, even Sydney or Perth?
It is, but it grows in parts of California & other warm areas too I believe...
I was just reading the gardening section of the local newspaper, and Jacaranda was described as "the most delightful of small trees". It certainly is a fine tree.
Awww yes it's so cute. I would love to have a garden with vines and Palms and fruit like papaya, cupuaçu, guapuru, acerola, maracuja, guayaba, Guanabana, banana, mango, it will be perfect

I think the cold must be so much more damaging to plants there, because the winters are so much warmer. It doesn't get that cold here, but at the same time frost and ice is a big part of winter here and plants have get used to moderate cold, with the first frosts in mid autumn.
Jacarandas are great trees, but no Poinsettias unfortunately -they do grow from about the middle of the North Island north.
Houston isn't that warm in winter lol. As recent as 2011 there was a Feb day that didn't go above 31F.
Lies, most areas in Houston haven't had an ice day in decades.

All we needed was one decent east-west mountain chain in the northern part of the country, and instead we get one that funnels cold air further south and actually contributes to being more extreme.
If Trump is elected, he will build one across the US-Mexico border. Someone can also get him to build one across the US-Canada Border.
