This is a Painted Eucalyptus and it has to be my favorite (non-fruit) tree, this one is growing on the road side of a property in Hawaiian Acres (Puna District) and is absolutely huge...this whole property boundary is very striking as there are many of the Eucalyptus mixed in with the Norfolk pines, it makes a great mix! That's Hawaii for you...you never know when to expect something beautiful!
I have a purple powder puff tree growing & blooming and it is the first time I have seen one, its a really neat tree (of course now I see them everywhere), the branches grow out laterally to the sides with a slight downward tilt almost like a "weeping" bush but not so dramatic. All of the purple tipped blossoms come from the tops of the branches, so it looks like the branches are frosted. I understand there are two other varieties...yellow and rainbow. Hopefully I will get a chance to photograph them as well...
