Today, March 8th, is International Women's Day. It celebrates how far we have come in our efforts to gain equality with men in every day society and examines the (often long) road ahead.
For every woman reading this, these flowers are for you! They are Princess Flowers (also known as Tibouchina urvilleana) and are blooming right now in parks and gardens all over Brisbane. They are native to Brazil but do very well here in our subtropical climate.
By the way - the International Womens Day official colours are purple, green and white.

I've just moved recently and the house next door has this tree out the front and they're lovely - often wondered the name of them so thank you!
Great post, I have a Women's Day post today too.
