MADLY MAUVE!
What a scene of elegance! What a scene of charm!
Underneath the jacaranda, far from all alarm.
Springtime in Australia in days of long ago,
When parlour-maids delivered tea and the pace of life was slow.
But jacarandas now, as then, lose petals all the time!
They look so pretty floating down! Objection is a crime!
They carpet lawn and path and bench as far as the eye can see.

And Mr and Mrs Perfection, here, will get petals in their tea!

Art and color...I can practically feel the period here! This is why mauve and all its related purple shades have always captivated me so. Lovely reflection of this week's theme!
