Flowers like grapes

Now there is this tree in our housing complex and once a year I fall so deeply in love with its blossoms.  And it only blossoms about once a year I believe and only for about a week.  It's one of those trees that you probably don't notice unless it's that particular time of the year.  Want to see it?

If you blink, you might miss the flowers.  You probably won't miss the twisted trunk though.  :)

Get a bit closer.  Don't they look like bunches of grapes?

And yet closer, you can see that these grapes are actually petals of a beautiful purple color, bunched together.

Looks like one of my favorite colors - tanzanite.

And don't forget these guys that sprinkle the tree.  They look like little pods.  Or maybe gigantic caterpillars.  Or let's be honest...they kind of look like my dog's poop.  :)

And the bees...they love the blossoms.  Can you see two in this picture?

Can't blame them really when the flowers are just so pretty!

And so every year when this tree blossoms, I stare in amazement at how gorgeous nature is and I feel especially blessed to have it right outside my front door.  And now a question to you all.  Does anybody know the name of this tree???  I heard it might be a jackaranda?  Anybody, anybody?  Mum, do you know?  Michelle?  Somebody!  :)
