So any experts out there know if you can predict the flower colour from the leaf veins ?

No expert, but the 2nd one with the red veins will most likely be pink or red...The first one with the green veins will most likely be yellow/white.

Hi Ari, I'm taking cuttings of the bigger inground ones because the new owners like frangies. I already have a few specials in pots anyway and the house we're buying has one of those singapore whites with the shiny dark green leaves like you see around the Darwin streets. At least I think that's what it is called.

Singapore evergreen?? Once you are not moving anymore, I get you one of those blue ones.... BTW, I thought the new owner is a developer?? Don't forget to take the 'special darwin' one with you!!!

Joe is more then likely correct on these particular leaf veins but then again its REALLY hard to tell from the leaves. A few cultivars have pretty

distinct colors and patterns that make them easy to pick out (like celedine and their seedlings and darker reds) but these are tough to tell - sorry...

It was flowering the other day.. I will check whether it is still flowering. I love blue flowering trees, Dean... even though what they call 'blue' can be relative...
