Purple Lasiandra

October 31st 2008 22:05
I'm back and blogging on Lasiandra Trees!

LASIANDRA

Just when I thought I had run out of purple ideas I found some info and pics in a book on Jpanese garden plants of all places!.

I used to have one of these trees in my front yard when I was a kid!

Ever drive past one of these and wonder what it was? They're also called glory trees.

The speceis name is Melastroma candidum .

I suspect these are one of those tree species that go in and out of fashion.

The house we were living in at the time was built in the late 1920s .

My memories of it is that its one of thoses trees that looks lovely when in fulll bloom and mediocre the rest of the year and wasnt much of a shade tree but the flowers while they're out are just as lovely as those in the photo!

If you have any memories about Lasiandra trees ... SHARE!

PURPLE MINERALS

Purple is not a common color for various reasons and usually appears in combination with other colors and this applys to minerals too. There are flecks and tinges and shimmers of purple in Granite and porphyry and fire opals and mother of pearl.

Lapis Lazuli has a whisper of purple that makes ultramarine blue an excellent basis for mixing purple for painters and other craftspersons.

a wellcut gemstone is truly a precious thing


Gems however can have stronger purples. The variant of Quartz known as Amethyst, purple Spinel, Iolite, and Zoisite, can be blue or purple.
