What kind of trees are the purple ones?

They're jacarandas - they look nice, but you need to watch out because the flowers are pretty slippery once they've fallen.

Cunt trees, live in Brisbane, actual plague these things are 😂

Are they actually that vividly purple in real life or has the photo's purple saturation been cranked up?

The flowers are distinctly purple, but that photo's overblown a bit - this is a more accurate representation:

That's still a pretty incredible colour! I can see why they'd be popular even if they're a bit of a slip hazard
