One of Broken Hill's most celebrated horticultural attractions sits in an abandoned parking lot outside a nondescript supermarket in South Broken Hill. The rare white jacaranda, Jacaranda mimosifolia alba, was introduced into Australia in 1960 by George Hewitt, a doctor from Bellingen, New South Wales, who imported them from a collector in Florida but is native to south-central South America. Bellingen Hospital’s original white jacaranda still flowers in the grounds and has parented many offspring.

Queenslanders know that when school exams come around at the end of the year, you can expect to start seeing the showy, lavender Jacaranda blooms. The tree is native to South America and is considered an invasive plant. It appears that many are willing to turn a blind eye in the name of floral beauty.
New Farm Park was busy with sight-seers this morning.
